A funny ice cream figure in Fontaine-de-Vaucluse

This figure may not stand still without the words.

Fontaine-de-Vaucluse

Fontaine-de-Vaucluse is the origin of the Sorgue river in the Vaucluse area. It looks similar to Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, but it looks like in the countryside more. High mountain and running stream, it's so Pictorialistic.

Only in France…..

Starry Night in Lacoste

In think I am shooting the star only in France......

The light pollution in Hong Kong is too serious. Even I travel to the country park and stayed overnight, I don't even think I can get more than this

Lourmarin

In Lourmarin, there is a château which built on a forest originally in the 15th century. In 1526, the  newer part château was constructed for the owner. The château was almost demolished, but Robert Laurent-Vibert bought it and saved it by restoring it.

Paris (Part 1)

The Paris excursion takes a week for us to understand more about the city. The first day, we mainly used for travel form Lacoste to Paris via Avignon. We rode on the TGV train and took 2.5 hours from Avignon to Paris Gare de Lyon. In the TGV station, there are some highlight photos of the Les Rencontres d'Arles 2013.
