Thank you guys for your comment. I love meyer too.

The last one I shot with a Canon 18-55/f3.5-5.6 at 18 mm. The barrel distortion is visible. What a pity.

I will remove the white line later as you suggested.

Lovely series Sandie - these are the kind of shots I like taking too, and I'd be really proud of them if they were mine. Congratulations.

no don't remove anything
the white line is not so bad and you should always wait more than 5 comments to start thinking about.
they are no rules and I just shared a impression

Sunny and dry in summer. cloudy, rainy and windy in winter.
The beauty of the beaches and calanches is breathtaking. Very good place for summer holiday. Well sometimes there are too many mosquitos.

Food ? People ?

The foods provided by the restaurants are generally far better than their countparts in Austrian and German restaurants. I love the steaks.

We rent the apartment with kitchen, so we cooked most time. Then the price for the foods in supermarkt is not cheap, or quite expensive, I would like to say.

IMHO, the inland part of the island are more or less in wildness. I did not see any people living there.

In hours of driving, what I saw is mountains and valleys.


Sometime, we saw deserted ruins.

Most people are living in the coastline, where provides better transportation, communiation, and then they could find job for tourism.

Most tourists are French, but we also saw lots of Italian. And our friends told us, the dialect of Corsican is quite close to italian, rather than french.

We did not meet any one who are not friendly. I feel they are living in a typical southern european way, relaxed and happy.

Thanks for taking us along on your holiday. Corsica is a wonderful, rugged place. You made very fine use of that great little lens.
