The Camargue in Autumn

The wild, white horses of the Camargue are actually born grey.This one  isn't very wild because he eats apples and lives in the stable that you can see in the corner of his field!!

Spices at the market in Stes. Maries-de-la-Mer, such a colourful site and their perfume assaulted your senses.In fact the whole area was an outdoor arena devoted to tantalising your taste buds. Olives, grapes, cheeses, bread and confectionary, hams, pickles , wine,  fresh fish , fruit and vegetables. Find me a cookery book!

Flamingoes were everywhere.On the "etangs"or salt lakes,their distinctive plumage could be seen as they waded in the shallow waters or as in the case of this one,paddled to take off. Once air born, they flocked together to create a pink cloud as they flew to a new feeding ground.

Bulls are also a popular attraction here. They have bull runs through the streets  and arenas can be found in many towns but thankfully it is bloodless bull fighting , involving the matadors tormenting the beast, then running and leaping over a wooden barrier to escape from it ,as the animal charges across the a arena

Sunsets are ethereal and awesome. On this particular evening, we felt humbled by the magnificene of the sight in the silence of our surroundings.
