22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Lavender Haze

I captured this image of a lavender field just before sunset on the Valensole Plateau in Provence. The Valensole Plateau is approximately 300 square miles of farming land at about an 1800 ft elevation. It is famous for its pristine lavender fields that bloom in late June and early July.
