The colours of Roussillon 1, a photo from Provence-Alpes-Cote-dAzur, South

Photographer's Note

The colourful town of Roussillon sits on a hill composed of ochre rock which has provided the colours for the town抯 buildings for centuries. Even the Romans made use of the ochre to colour pots. The exposed ochre areas are a short walk from town. The striking formations are the result of erosion.
Scanned from a negative.

Hi Ian, wonderful ochre tones contrasting against the bright blue sky. The textures are wonderful too. Excellent vertical framing, works really well. TFS and I wish you a good Sunday, Lisa
