Just some photos & diptychs for you today.
(Everyone around me is obsessed with the arrival of autumn, but I’m thinking about swimming in that river above on a hot August day. Autumn can wait.)

the blue hour 
Love the narrow streets and alleys with light streaming in. I can’t get enough of the green foliage, probably because where I live in Colorado the landscape is brown and dessert-like. Thanks for sharing!
Your spreads are fantastic and full of French local flavors. Always a nice way to start the day when I open your new posts.
What an inspiring photos!
superb shots, brian.
your contax is really coming up trumps :)
stunning, brian!!
Wow, wondeful photos. I would like to immediately travel to France. The scenery, the small town – everything has so much flair.
Have fun swimming. :) Brrr – very brave.
oh how wonderful are those dark stormy skies up there!
i’m also reliving the best summer moments. one has got to hold on to them.
GORGEOUS!!! I love love the tree that seems to float across the top of the doorway. The water shots are awesome too. Thanks for sharing!
Looks lovely – I love France!
These are beautiful shots. I love the photos of the alleyways. P.S. Nice new look on your blog!
amazing shots. love the green!
Your photographs always give me the little escape that I need each day, to pretend that I am elsewhere. I only wish I could step into them and be far away for a little while.
the tree above the doorway is simply wonderful.
Seeing photos of the narrow village street next to the river landscape is so exciting. Both situations are delimited in a dramatic way, yet in very different scales. Nature wins!
How do you put together your diptychs? I’m just curious about what program you’re using for that…
Oh, and lovely pictures! :)
I use GIMP (a free program similar to Photoshop) – Adobe PS Elements works too.
Great photos! Do you always use an external light meter ?
No, only for my Hasselblad (which has no internal light meter).
…and then we went somewhere and ate wonderful food.
les calanques? i’ll take an august river-dip any ol’ time.
I love the one of the window(s) with the turquoise shutters. I paused at it waiting for someone’s face to appear in the window. It feels like it is breathing.
WOW! And now I really wish I was in France… These are amazing!
Great, no. 8 and 9 are making me crazy. you are so inspiring, thank you!
Swimming, and then having gorgeous breakfasts. Breakfast is the best meal of the day, if you have time.
I love the old structures, with their imperfections. if it were in the US, they’d have replacement vinyl windows
beautiful pictures.
i am having a spot of deja vu, did you walk along the river from collias, and did you stop by uzes? such a beautiful area.
Yes, that’s where I was – thanks, Tara.
love the pictures. loved the commentary even more. I am anxiously awaiting autumn, but a bit sorrowful to say good bye to summer.
What a beautiful place…dream-making…fanciful…I love it. And I, like some of your friends, cannot wait for autumn, my favorite season. Put a swim in that river on your to-do list for 2012.
Aaah, that house has got a moustache (last horizontal picture)!!!
Return trip some day soon mate, yes?
Can’t tell you how wonderful it is to find a new batch of pictures to explore on your site. The way you capture the world is simply magical. Thank you for providing such beauty.
ah gorgeousness….i can feel that warm sun through your photos. so beautiful.
(i hear ya about autumn. we had a ‘summer’ in seattle- basically about 5 1/2 weeks of sun, kindof)
love love love your photos!
I’m thinking the ‘umbrella tree’ is my favorite. All excellent shots!
I agree… Autumn can wait!!
man, these blow me way. i need to ditch my 5d and start shooting medium format huh
These are such wonderful photos from France. It makes me miss it!

The river photos are beautiful. I’ve never tried swimming in a river but it sounds like a lot of fun.
