Photographer in Paradise

Stalwart travel companion and wife extraordinaire, photographer Alison Reynolds is also wildly fanatical about her art, her fine art, and her photography, for which she has been published in multiple newspapers for numerous travel features,  so La Colombe d'Or was a paradise for her, like living in a wildly bohemian museum, and she took to photographing the grounds and the art and the structure and the art, and the atmosphere, and the art with the joy of one who holds a passion for it all. So naturally it won't be long before, in her thoroughnesss, she turns the camera on you, as you see below. The Devil Dog has had the pleasure of being captured in her lens on many an occasion, and has always looked the better for it.

The steps of the church in St Paul de Vence

Speaking of my beautiful wife, here she is on the steps of the church in the middle of St Paul de Vence, whose bell tower is seen in all panoramic shots at the very top of the village. The Devil Dog and his wife, the renowned photographer Alison Reynolds, have traipsed the world together, and yet we always return to the south of France, drawn to its abundant character, pristine medieval villages, fabulous atmosphere, and as we see here, the simple charms of an ancient church in a tiny village.
