One of the highlights of the recent French trip was sailing at dawn through the Camargue  nature reserve. This area is a massive delta estuary where the River Rhone flows into the Mediterranean.  We saw no wildlife, as it was all sacred of by the big boat which we were all traveling in, notwithstanding to sit on the upper deck and just take everything in was a privilege and an experience which will stay with me for a long time. The mist bank which we can see in the photo totally enveloped is a minuet or so after this shot was taken, all we could then see was the low sun and the tree tops; stunning.

 

Tomorrow is the start of another trip, this time on a Thames barge starting at Staines and going up river for a few days. Paints, pens, papers and cameras await; lets see what transpires.
