The Mayor, Saignon

Saignon hosted two acts for the Luberon Jazz Festival. One was a funky little band in Place de la Fontaine. We were treated to the sight of our mayor serving pizza to the crowd. Now that is public service;-))

Lunch at La Platane

Another Holga picture.

Why there is no French version of Doctor Who.

Worst Tardis ever.

Chair, Rue de Cilly, Saignon, Holga lens

I got a Holga lens for my Olympus micro 4/3 cameras just before we came to France. I used Holgas and Dianas back in my film days and loved the soft rendering of tones and the odd vignetting caused by a plastic lens on a camera that cost $15.00. Of course I had to use Tri-X or faster film in full daylight to get a usable negative. With digital I can shoot in any light , and, with DxO Filmpack 5, I can convert to black and white and simulate any film. This is the Agfapan 25 medium format setting. Playing is such fun.

La Platane, Apt

 La Platane, in Apt is one of our favorite lunch spots. There is a graveled deck under a huge mulberry tree and the food is superb. If you go there always favor the fish dishes because the chef just nails seafood. Our after dinner digestif was ruined by this little drunk.

Danger de Mort, Apt

Death defying graffiti ;~}

Graffiti, Apt

Graffiti here usually resembles graffiti the world over. Gang marks mostly. In Apt there are plenty of those but also a lot of more whimsical little pictures.

The middle of the Apt bike path, west, looking east and west

 It curves at either end, but the middle is a straight shot.
