winter again

On Saturday we set off to have a light lunch with some friends near Mont Ventoux.  The route takes us past the magnificent Abbey de Sénanque, here clothed in its sombre winter hues, the surrounding lavender like cornrows.

peering over the edge of the precipice

In the dip of the valley the cold hung to the building like a mist.

  

Then through the Gorge de la Sénancole which was punctuated by frozen streams and icicles,

into this . . . the winter just won't go away!
