Album Description:

The incredible blue skies and ocean, the calming smell of the lavendar in shades of purple and blue, the bold yellows of the sunflowers and the sun, and the shades of ocre and terra cotta of the buildings. A feast for the senses.

  • Liebe Marita, wie habe ich dieses tolle Album bisher nur verpassen koennen? Das ist ja voll SUPER! So ist sie, die schoene Provence: starke Farben, knackige Aromen, sinnliche Duefte, das alles im gleissenden Sonnenschein, gebadet in einer Lieblichkeit, die diesen Landstrich einmalig auf der Welt macht. Dein Album macht Fernweh!...

  • Marita, was ist denn mit Dir?!! Ich kann es kaum glauben dass Du wiedermal die Schulter verletzt hast...und danach, die Treppen hinunter! Das ist doch die Hoehe! Ich bin ganz sicher dass Du Unfallgeneigt bist. Ich wusste nicht dass Du seit drei Jahren nicht geritten hast. Das muss ja Dir weh tun. Es tut mir wirklich Leid. Ich wuensche Dir schnellere Erholung und hoffe die Schulterbeschaedigung nicht sehr schwer ist. Mit besten Gruesse. Suresh

  • Hallo Marita! Fuer soooo vieles haben wir dir zu danken: 1. Fuer die vielen "schnusigen" (entschuldige, das ist "schwyzerduetsch" !) guestbook entries in unserem food-Album, 2. Fuer deine beiden, wie immer sehr lieben, Eintragungen im message bord, 3. fuer etwas, das Du nicht erraten kannst: du hast uns eine glaenzende IDEE gegeben!!! Wir verpassten naemlich so oft die messages im message bord, weil ich immer wieder vergesse, dort nachzulesen; auch mit den "stats" ging das meist verloren, da man sie ja nicht immer ausdruckt. So haben wir den message in deinem "bord" kopiert, etwas fuer uns abgeaendert, und nun sind alle drei unserer message bords geschlossen... Danke, danke, fuer diese gute Idee!!!!! Es freut mich unerhoert, dass Du wieder zu reiten anfaengst!!! TAKE CARE!!! Wir wuenschen Dir schoene, erholende Wochen in Deutschland!!! Viel herzliche Gruesse, Deine alten Heinz und Kaethi PS Wir sind allen WS-Freunden, die uns trotz unserem Alter (um die 80 herum) treu bleiben, so dankbar!!!

  • This is an amazing album, a treat for the senses! I only wish I could have smelled the lavender and the sea. I saw bougainvillea like that on the Isle of Capri--very profuse! I saw the lavender in Italy--and the fields of sunflowers, but I've never been to Provence. So today I enjoyed walking through this slbum and dreaming a bit. My husband sat here with me, and we enjoyed the pictures together. I also enjoyed the excellent comments on the album and agreed with them all. Warmly, Barbara (Arkansas USA)

  • Hello! If you didn't explain each photo I would think that I was looking at photos of some town of the Portuguese province Algarve, except that the houses are mostly white. Correction; use to be mostly white. These pictures have wonderful colors and light. Thank you for the tour and congratulations on a job well done. Domingos

  • Hi Marita, found a wonderful album here. I am a fan of Provence and French Riviera, Cote d'Azur. I have not visited Cassis and St Tropez, though. But everything else you portray reminded me of the wonderful vacations in Nice and surroundings and all the trips to other towns I have taken. Wonderful album!! Greetings, Merike

  • Hi Marita, Thank you so much for your kind comments on my featured album. You have some wonderful pictures here.... so colorful and interesting. I especially liked Gateway to Another World. I have seen some of your other albums before and I remember that I downloaded quite a few. Thank you for sharing. Cynthia

  • Hello Marita! I have too many dreams! One of my dreams is to have at least one visit to the Mediterranean coast, to see the beautiful colors like yours, especially the stunning blue colors. I love the Mediterranean colors, the villages, the alleys, the houses, the little harbour, the restaurant (If I can really enjoy a simple lunch here ... good enough for me!). Thank you very much for this wonderful trip! Thank you so much for enjoying my B&W! Best Wishes! CS :D

  • Hi Marita. Seeing this album is like visiting the past. How I understand your fascination about Provence. I dream of smelling its fields of lavendar and see all those beautiful and bright colors. I really enjoyed the all album but photo n.14 is particularly happy with all those beautiful paintings showing "La Belle Provence". Is it a coincidence that althaea flowers appears in both Taos and Provence albums, or you really are in love with it? I noticed because it's one of my favorite flowers and is so rarely seen... Thanks so much for sharing these beautiful images. Warm greetings from Portugal, Rosa

  • Hi Marita, Congratulations on being a featured member a couple of days ago. A great honour and well deserved. I've enjoyed this album of the Provence very much. This region has a certain charm which you conveyed very well. Your high quality photos of the colourfull side of the area are a feast for the eye. Thanks for your nice comments on my featured album yesterday. Greetings, Tjebbe

  • Hello Marita and warm, sunny greetings from Western Australia. It has been a real pleasure to browse this and some of your other albums and to admire the way you compose your photos and the different viewpoints you manage to get. I went into your other site as needless to say I couldn't resist having a look to see what a visitor to our state would make of it. You did very well and sounded as though you enjoyed your time with us West Aussies. We actually live about 60kms north of Perth right on the ocean. Congratulations on this special feature. Best wishes, Peter

  • Hello Marita, I am absolutely astounded that nobody has written in this GB, it is a very beautiful album And although I am English, France is a very beautiful country which you have captured the essence of extremely well. I find it better to make two albums out of a trip rather than one giant one. please do not think that I was rude but it is just my way. Thanks for your kind words and I am sure a feature will come your way sooner than later, take care Ken
