Twisting the night away
I was in Caussade a couple of weeks ago and noticed the contorted shapes of the Mulberry trees in the revamped village square by the tourist office. I thought that is a photo waiting to happen but it needed to be different in some way. I really wanted an ethereal fog but it is the wrong time of year for that and in any case probably would not happen in the town.
So after a comfortable night in we jumped in the car around 11:30pm and parked up in the square. Under the sleepy eye of the local gendarmes we set up the tripod, camera and obligatory wide angle lens for that really distorted look. Looking on with amusement the gendarmes shuffled off and left us to it.
It is really uncanny how you can imagine (well me anyway) the form of these trees taking on human shapes, one looks like a cricket bowler from the back, another has arms raised as if it was a runner crossing a winning line and there are a row of three stretching as if in an exercise class. I will leave it to you to find your own interpretation.
