A Lonely Tree in a Lavender Field

Lavenders bloom in spring and create wonderful purple fields. For years I’ve been seeing photos of the iconic lavender fields in Provence, France. And they looked amazing! However I never had the chance to visit Provence. So, when I learned that there were lavender farms near the village of Mesimeri which is very close to my hometown, the city of Thessaloniki in Greece, I couldn’t miss the chance! With a fellow photographer we started exploring the area trying to find a minimal and beautiful field to capture. That tree on top of the hill looked great with the straight lavender lines leading to it. Then we had just to sit and wait for the sunset which came with beautiful colors in the sky. We also learned that mosquitoes love the fragrant lavender flowers!

Here are a few more lavender field photos I have captured in the same area!
