A burst of colours for a rainy day

Just because I had the opportunity to walk around Annecy which was bursting with beautiful flowers, and because the weather was nice (Yes, the sun was out this time), I was drawn to the colours that I must have been craving for during this grey Spring season.

This is unusual for me. Don't get me wrong, I love flowers, as the details that nature gave them is incredible.

But I tend to go for landscape or graphic scenes.

Except this time, it invaded me and I kept going for them.

Shooting a new subject was also very good practice, brought enjoyment and reminded me that I need to invest in a macro lens to do a decent job!

Have a colourful week! 

Le Beaujolais

When family comes to visit from abroad, I like to show them the surrounding area, so rich in heritage, culture and landscape. Every time, we enjoy taking in all this natural beauty that we often take for granted. 

I recently took family to the Beaujolais region, which I had discovered for the first time last year, a few months after moving back to France. At the time, I had captured parts of the flavoured landscape with my camera and left the photos to rest and mature for at least a year. Visiting the region again revived the desire to develop last year's photos, which I am sharing today.

This series being on the slight "post-card" style, I am aware it is not a Grand Cru. However, the contrasts, made up with the natural light that the weather created at the time, brings me to invite you to the Beaujolais region.
