Description


-o§o- This photo was also taken in this wonderful region of Provence, this time next to the village of Roussillon, in the former open-pit ochre quarries, where the cliffs are streaked with red and gold at the heart of an area extending over 25 kms. Ochre extraction and mining reached a peak in the 1930s, as ochre was used for its pigmentary properties in sectors as varied as art, masonry, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
-o§o- The contrasts between the red and gold colours and the green of the pinewood forest here and there nearby was a great moment of fascination for me and all those who have nicknamed the area the ... 'Provençal Colorado' for quite some time !...
-o§o- Thank you so much for your supportive comments on my latest Provençal photo taken in Lourmarin, have a nice weekend everyone, and stay safe...Please zoom in for more atmospheric details!
