HERMANCE - PART IV

Hermance 31.2 bis

Hermance 32.1 bis
Hermance trip continued...

Last week I talked about walking down the village of Hermance and drinking a coffee on the side of the lake, well today, this post (Part III) is all about our little walk back to the bus stop...

After having sat on the small terrace of the campsite coffee place and fought off countless wasps we decided that it was about time to go back home, so we decided to head up the village in order to catch our bus.

Once again, we went through the narrow streets of Hermance, passed in front of pretty little houses reminding us of Provence, admired the colorful flowers decorations and tried to guess what was hidden behind the mysterious walls.

This place is so full of surprises that I even found more subjects to immortalize. An endless source of inspiration!

"The water of this fountain once was in the sea. It evaporated and was carried by the clouds, then it fell down in the form of rain before it got thrown back into the sea. That is the fragile equilibrium of the cycle of water.
We should respect it!"

Rosa...what I respect most is this love you have of nature and everything beautiful it has to offer. However, I'm sure I wouldn't have done well with wasps around me...I'm terrified of those little buggers ;o)

Gorgeous captures as usual.

Ciao for now,
