I tend to celebrate these special “views” when I get them. Sometimes it’s a crapshoot, but more than not, it works out for me! I guess I kinda plan a bit to get them to be honest. Upon check in, I usually try to let them know that I am a travel photographer and time-lapser of sorts and would really appreciate a room with a view if at all possible. Being nice to them helps!

The power of lavender…..
I had never bumbled about this part of France until last year. Provence. Great food, incredible wine, lavender fields, rolling vistas….there must be something to this place to have attracted many of the great artists and writers, and I wanted to find out.
While researching this area before I left, wonderful images of vast lavender fields seemed to dominate the collections. How silly of me to realize that they are in full bloom in the early summer…of course after I arrived in September!
This post is the first of what I assume will be many of a series of recollections from previous trips I have taken, Origionally posted on my photography / travel photography blog over on MDSimages, this one was during a time that I was just getting back into the art of photography.
