entry description
I captured this series of images in the Valensole Plateau region of Provence this July. The lavender fields have been going through a major transition with many farmers going organic and not trimming the fields, or entirely replacing their lavender fields with wheat. As a result, many of the iconic scenes are no more and those that still exist are being overrun with careless influencers with little to no regard for the fields or the health of the plants.about the photographer
Jim began exploring photography in 2007 as entertainment on weekends during long business trips to Europe and Asia. Jim ventured deeper into photography after retiring and continues to hone his craft on the local area's scenic vistas and through an active travel schedule. Jim’s priority is collecting images from around the world, intended to stir awareness and offer glimpses of elements in nature and distant cultures that are rapidly changing, and in some cases at risk of disappearing entirely.back to gallery
