Photos from the May, 2001 Trip to Provence, France
In May, 2001, we took a trip to Provence, France. It's an incredibly photogenic region, and I humbly submit what I hope are enjoyable shots from the region.
A few of the pictures are available in 3D versions as well. Look for the
icon for parallel view, and the
icon for the anaglyph version.
