Provence landscape : La Plaine des Maures after the rainProvence has always been a hot country but from a few years, summers seem to be more and more dry.
In 2007, from june to october we had no cloud and no rain. In the middle of the month, whe had 2 days of strong rain. Just when the sun came back, i went with my wife and daughter in La Plaine des Maures guessing i could make some nice landscape photographs.
The place was wonderful with many little rivers and ponds borned with the rain.
I always love (and often go) making photos here. This place is also named Little Africa with a red rocky ground covered by bush and some evergreen parasol pines forests.
My 3 yo daughter spent her time bathing in some ponds while i was hiking and shooting around. The photo above is one of my favorites from this day with the little river running in the grass burnt by the summer dryness.
Fine art prints are available for sale in my Etsy shop.

Great photos and great memories for you and your family - perfect!
I like your idea to add stories to photos. Yes, the photos itself are gorgeous but these stories make them more intimate and alive. Thanks for sharing :)
That's simply a beautiful scene. :) Thanks for the story too; I agree with Leina, it makes the photo come alive.
still look beautiful!
Why go to Africa if you can find beauty so nearby? Great photograph!
