Camembert Ice-cream

It was way more delicious than it sounds. And we weren't getting anywhere near enough dairy in our diet.

Les Calanques de Piana

12 Jul 2018 172
On the west side of Corsica, a road runs ten kilometres or so along the coast, from Porto to Piana. Amazing views are just the start of the beauty in this stretch. The rusty ochre rock formations light up in the sun. Their peculiar shapes and forms inspire the imagination to perceive faces or animals. There were some stretches where we would only drive a few hundred metres before needing to stop for another photo. I believe we were quite the road hazard, stopping, backing up, turning around in tight spots.

The seaside village of Porto - one of the few spots along this coast where the road drops to sea level.

As the night set in, the lanterns of the light festival lit up the labrynth of alleys within the citadel.

Video Projection

A captivating cycle of videos played on a pair of buildings at the western end of town. We watched the whole sequence many times. This is the face of Espace Saint-Jacques.

Silhouettes

Reverse silhouettes were cast on walls in numerous locations around town. Children enjoyed adding their own shapes to the scenes. A video plays on the surface of an old tower in the background.

An Art Installation

A mixture of music, light, and video brought this character through a range of incredible stages. It stirred emotions - Jo commenting that she found some of it disturbing. Job done, then, from the artist's perspective.

Picnic on the Rocks

Pinarello. The beach was very nice, but for picnicking we headed on to the rocks. The setting sun lit up the Genoese tower on the little island.

Corte Citadel, Central Corsica

12 Jul 2018 196
Corte, a once was, and short-lived, capital of the island. Geographically, and to some extent culturally, the heart of Corsica.
