Ochre in Provence
The old quarries of ochre of Luberon offer strolls rich in colours, material, forms and contrasts. Of the most known, Roussillon and Rustrel, about small colored valleys often buried under the vegetation as to Villars and Gignac, Gargas being only exploited quarry, the sites of ochre are always surprising discoveries for the guest and the photographer, who finds there the expression of the nature playing according to the changeable light of every moment.
