Dordogne River (France) and its forests.
Dordogne is a very fascinating river in the central-west of France, which has carved, over millions of years, a 3-400 meter deep canyon in a forested landscape. The upper, wilder part of the river is now “tamed”, with dams and hydropower-plants. The surrounding forest has a large variety of trees, where walnuts and chestnuts are some of them. The microclimate here is not very different from a tropical rainforest, with humidity from frequent rainshowers. The sunlight which comes through such a slope, with very high trees growing as dense as in a true rainforest, gives a special filtered light, unlike the light you will find in a normal forest. I wanted to catch this light in these forests. And I wanted to catch a bit of the environment, e.g. the beautiful waterplants often covering large areas of the river, the special Dordogne boat, the large flocks of sheep and ---.  I hope I can give you a little bit of the feeling from  the upper part of the Dordogne, in the western Auvergne, before it widens out, and reaches the worldfamous winefields of Bordeaux.
