Notre Dame de Senanque Gordes, France

I did use Photoshop to remove weeds in the image and slightly

enhance the poppy flowers. I realize other people have taken this

picture, but until you stand there and take it all in you can't

the Lavender field. The ditch was much steeper than I thought and I

could not grab the trees to stop my rush so I took a tumble. I got up

gingerly and was unhurt. When I left the field toward the Abby I

finally saw the no trespassing sign, sorry.

As much as I like the composition, what really makes it pop for me is the small touch of red
