The winter blues are somewhat soothed by the reconnaissance walks I do in the hills. The cool and crisp weather brings great lighting for photos, better visibility than any other time of year... Below are the ruins of the castle of Les Baux, a photo taken from the hotel Mas d'Aigret, Walk Inn's base in the Alpilles.
Also taken from the hotel, perched above the famed olive groves, their silvery leaves shining in the winter sun (well, not quite winter yet, but it sure feels like it).
A shot taken from the Alpilles, looking toward the plains to the north, and towards the first snowfall on the summit of Mont Ventoux...
And now looking to the south, the vast plains of the Camargue park leading to the Mediterranean Sea...
