Photographer's Note
CUCURON is a village in the Vaucluse department, of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region, in southeastern France. Located on the south side of the Luberon mountain range, Cucuron is surrounded by slopes of grapevines and olive trees. The present village dates from earlier than the 11th century and suffered a serious plague epidemic in 1720.

THIS PICTURE shows you the village pond (l'étang). This large quadrangular basin of water dates from the beginning of the 14th century and is located at the north of the village. It previously supplied a mill. It is the perfect place to sit down for a chèvre chaud, a glass of rosé and maybe a small café and a smoke afterwards.

Hello Benny, a beautiful observation, I love the shapes and colours of the trees, their reflections are fabulous.
All backed by that wonderful blue sky.
Regards Jean.

Hallo Benny,
Het felle zonlicht zorgde voor een heel sterk contrast tussen de lichte en donkere delen van de lange takken die ver de blauwe hemel in steken. De spiegelingen in het kalme water zijn ook prachtig en mooi een tikkeltje vervormd.

Hi Benny
Reading your note, one could only imagine the history and generations of families that have lived and died here. Couldn't imagine living through a plague. Imagine if they had anti biotics. I agree with everything you say in the end, except for the smoke part :) That a European thing i think :)
Now i'm getting way of topic....but when I travel to any european country, i'm AMAZED at how many people smoke. Smoking is very Taboo in Canada. anyways...its just a cultural thing. as for your photo, its great with the tall vertical, the reflections, the dark blue water and bright blue sky, and its all tightly squeezed into the frame. cheers
Craig
