we arrived in southern france in the middle of a heat wave and a drought. the heat can be crippling, and a surprising number of decisions each day get made by taking the sun into account: which side of the street you walk on, when you run your errands, what time you serve dinner on the terrace, how often you water your plants, when you open your windows (at night), and when you close them and pull the curtains (during the day). the difference between sunshine and shade can feel as dramatic as walking out of a sunny afternoon into an air conditioned room.

I *love* this dramatic photo! I sat here imagining exactly what you spoke about. It has been a very dry and hot summer here in Vermont. Most folks are ready for fall to begin. What will your winter in southern France be like? xo
You summarized my thoughts exactly on how it is here in New York City!!! I find myself slowly walking down a block taking in little air-conditioning puffs that have escaped when someone opens a door!
Today, I really appreciate your effort to shoot your photos without a shadow. This is lovely, but the shadows are distracting. Plus, I am totally enjoying southern France through your eyes.
Love this contrast.
Hey you, nice to see you here!
