The light of the south

In January I went in the south of France for vacation and to take some shots.
My trip started from Nice -Cote d’Azur and then going around towards south
in Camarge and finally in Montpellier. Monpellier is a strange fashinating town
with a lot of modern architecture thanks to the creations of the spanish architect
Ricardo Bofill.

The shots that most I wanted to take where about nature in Camargue, but coming back home and looking to my shots I noticed that the most interesting subject was the light, that France’s South Light which so much enchanted painters, writers and artists of every age.

So I thought to do a little collection of Black and White shots for exalting this subject ...
I don’t know if I have reached a good result, but I have to admit that .... I have had a lot of fun taking these shots ...
