Sunset in the lavender fields

Road trip: Hiking shoes, polar, we are expecting some cold as our final destination is Orcieres in the Alps, knife, sunglasses, headlamps, tripod and camera, backpack ready. Bottle of red (obligatory), chunks of cheese, goat included of course, fresh baguette, assorted spreads and all the elements necessary for the gin & tonics. Off we go.

Little we knew that crossing the Valensole fields we would find lavender on its prime time, we couldn’t resist the colours, the scenery, the view. We had to stop to admire and take some photos, a quick stop to walk around the town of Valensole, to admire its provençal buildings and colorful doors, have a lavender ice cream and a beer. Later we decided to go back to the fields to stay for the sunset. Good choice! here is how it went.

      increíble como se pintan de morado los campos! un espectáculo. Hay campos de lavanda en toda la Provence, pero estos que fuimos son al lado de un pueblito: Valensole,son de los mas bonitos, también pasamos por ahí a comernos una nieve y esperar el atardecer. muy bonita experiencia. Un beso Gugu.

    Me gustaria estar alli, y mucho. Todas las fotos me parecen bellisimas, pero las que mas me gustan son las del atardecer por las luz y brillo, me imagino que lo disfrutaron mucho. Donde esta Floriane con el diente de leon me encanto, ella lindisima la postura me gusta, me gusta mucho, y esa que estas en el centro de lavanda de espaldas explorando, observando eres muy tu, hermoso viaje.

      Si la luz de el atardecer es la que mas nos gusta para tomar fotos, por los colores que puedes capturar, los dientes de león de ese tamaño hermosos. gracias por pasar a comentar, si disfrutamos mucho este viaje!

    Wow! I loved all of your pictures! I’ve always wanted to see a field full of flowers (still on my bucket list). I love that you guys are traveling and meeting people! It helps to gain a new perspective and learn to be humble. You know St. Augustine had said, “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page”.
    There is so much beauty in this world that must be seen! Enjoy it!
    God bless.
