What I did on my summer vacation

Scenes from Morocco x

Below is a selection of travel photos taken in 2015 during a 3-week car trip through Morocco. Photographing in Morocco is a treat. The cities have the world's oldest surviving medieval medinas and economies; the hinterlands stretch across several mountain chains. The people are colorful and friendly.  I hope to put together a series of photos (people and landscapes) from Morocco.  Nancy

My wife and I took a Viking River Cruise in France that sailed from Avignon to Lyon. These are some of the pictures from that trip. Many were taken on the walking tours and therefore were taken well after sunrise and long before sunset. Also walking tours don't present the optimum opportunity for photography due to the need to keep moving, the short amount of "free time", and the crowds. (See special note at end.)

With the cruise we were offered several optional tours, such as excursions to wineries, goat cheese and truffle farms. But the one I liked the best was "Carrières de Lumières Art Show in the breathtaking Les Baux de Provence area in France". It takes place in an underground limestone quarry and is indescribable.
