Red and gold

A little Monday sized post to send some warmth to whomever needs it. According to my friend Debra at Acquired Objects, spring is not yet in full bloom everywhere despite her early advances.
I never take the light for granted in Provence but it still can surprise me in its depth and variations.
These two buildings are just off the Rhone in Arles. Sadly, they are always closed up. For me, they are far too lovely to not be lived in but apparently the owner doesn’t agree.
I find such beauty in the patina of paint and lime wash scraped away by hard winds and time’s wings. 
Even in the shadows, I felt the heat of red and gold searing out of the stones.
Wishing everyone a lovely week ahead. More soon when my pollen dusted head is in less of a muddle!

  1. How wonderful – it is Wednesday now and I am sorry i missed it on Monday!! Whoo – is fantastic light and colour as you say!!

  2. Ooh la la, Debra! Stay warm please–cuddle up to that furball of yours!

  3. There is so much to see Sally! So many folks just visit the big monuments (the Roman Arena and Amphitheatre) but it really is wonderful just to wander the streets to look at details too. Hope this finds you well…

  4. Yes, you would love the range of colors that pop with the light here Virginia. Especially at this time of year. Bisous.

  5. I never take it for granted Marielle. But having grown up in the Midwest (Ohio, Michigan, Pennsylvania), I know that the beauty of Magic Hour is not to be underestimated!

  6. Merci Vero! And you know I feel for you, whew! If I lived in Seattle I would definitely need to buy one of those Happylights!!
