Europe IVb. France with Lartigues-- the coast

Our flight from France back to England was canceled due to a general strike, so we flew out of Spain instead.

And, of course, there was a horse!



Adi asked me to take a picture of the 'little circles' she found.


My favorite color, even better when reflected.


And my favorite view:
