Just back from the Ardeche

I have just had a week to muck around with my Canon 600D down in southern France.  A few shots for your amusement, or to give a flavour of the place.

what a cracking set of images, by the look of those you certainly enjoyed your trip.

Nice widefield images.

Thanks folks - lots of fun under the stars, despite the mozzies and patchy cloud.  I was surprised at how much LP there actually was - I'd been there in 2003, 2004 and 2008 and hadn't seen the orange glow of sodium lights before.  I also had a few shots featuring typhoon jets circling high up at night with no lights on - just the orange glow of the exhaust as they turn.

These are all single exposures, by the way.  I wish I'd had the patience and time to do some multiple exposures, but I was also trying to fit some hill-walking, cycling and swimming into the holiday.  Oh, and maybe some relaxation and local grape-based produce as well...
