Tree With Lavender, Provence

Tree With Lavender, Provence

Endless rows of fragrant lavender plants are beautiful in their own right, and the scent can be intoxicating. But to create an interesting photograph, I find it necessary to pair the lavender with another subject: an old abbey, a farmhouse, or another scenic element.

This solitary tree gave me just the feeling I was looking for: a focal point at the end of converging rows of color.

The image was created on the Valensole Plateau of France’s Provence region.
