france : a provence white like snow
DESCRIPTION
It took few years and a lot of determination for Hemis photographers to collect these amazing pictures. Because the snow, in Provence, is as much unexpected as unusual. Rarely does this country of heat, colors and scents clothe itself in white. Then one may discover frozen landscapes, white olive threes, waves of white foam from frozen lavenders. One may be filled with wonder by the beauty of the Palais des Papes whitened by flakes, the Ochres of Roussillon coated white or the frozen Baux de Provence looking like a landscape from the Great North. Put your boots on and follow our photographers trail…TRANSCRIPT
