Château de Chenonceau, France – Forgotten Postcard

The Château de Chenonceau in the Loire Valley of France is a popular travel destination. This iconic castle sits partly over the Cher River.

Mont Saint Michel, France – Forgotten Postcard

If you’ve ever visited Mont Saint Michel, you know the view of this imposing island fortress on a misty morning is unlike any other.

Sacré-Cœur, Paris – Forgotten Postcard

My husband and I took the Petit train d’Artouste, a narrow gage tourist railway that leaves from the Artouste-Fabrèges ski area. The train travels 10 km along the mountains high above the valley … more


Making Jurancon Wine

Making Jurancon Wine

Since I moved to Europe, I’ve become fascinated with the wine-making process. I was fortunate enough to be able to frequently visit the region of south west France where Jurançon wine is made. I photographed this process over a period of several seasons. The vast majority of these images are from Domaine Nigri, located outside the village … more

Despite my recent busy spurt, I decided to create a new Forgotten Postcard. This one was inspired by the Jurancon wine vineyards of Monein, in the Béarn region of southwest France. If you like this image please pay a visit to my Forgotten Postcards Gallery for all of the works in this series.

I needed to do something a little more creative today after days of editing my California images, so I decided to take another crack at the Forgotten Postcards series.
