Ice stalactites in the Fornant river

Ice stalactites in the Fornant river

For a few days, the weather is almost dry but very cold.
I went early this morning to the Fornant river with the idea of making images of ice formations around the water.
The water was still running but in many places such ice stalactites where hanging on the rocks or on tree roots. I caught some beautiful closeups in the first place where i stopped but i'll certainly return to explore a little more. If the weather stays cold of course. But i think i don't need to worry about that :)

Autumn leaves

I was not very active on this blog during the past week. I had one day of work in Provence on Thursday. I had to prepare it during the first days of the week and then i drove to Provence during the night on Wednesday to Thursday, did my work and drove back home during the next night to start processing files for the client on Friday. No real time for blogging neither for processing my own files.

One thing surprised me a little : when i was in Provence the weather was hot and sunny but i had really no regret to have left this region for the mountains where we live now.

Mediterranean rock detail

It's a one year old image from past summer. I went really soon to the sea on one place i didn't know very well. Arriving i hiked a long time in the rocks, looking for a good place, took a few seascapes, walked in the rocks and when the sun was too high for good job i decided to come back and on my way i found some nice orange rocks sunbathing in the morning light. After this closeup i came back home where i left the images sleeping on my hard drives until last night where i found this one and a few seascapes no too disapointing.

These old trunks are sometimes incredibles.
