Every year in the hot days of August the Bertha-Benz-Memorial-Drive takes place.
This is to remind on Bertha Benz, wife of automobile pioneer Carl Benz, who herself drove in 1888
together with her two children from Mannheim to Pforzheim, which is about 85 km length.
Right in the middle between these two cities is Bruchsal, a small town with pretty baroque palace grounds
where nowadays the participants of the Bertha-Benz-Memorial-Drive have a short break of about 90 minutes
in the early afternoon in the courtyard of the palace.
The pictures in the Provence feature were taken in March 2005 during the days of the blooming of the almond trees.
In France, more than 100 villages are officially declared as "most beautiful village" of the country, 5 of them to find in the Provence,
more precisely, in the Luberon region, and 4 of them are covered in this feature: Roussillon, Gordes, Menerbes, and Lourmarin.
Other cities and villages - not less beautiful - covered here are Aix-en-Provence, Ansouis, Isle sur la Sorgue, Senanque, Murs and Joucas.
The gallery closes with 2 nightshots of the Cruas nuclear power plant (no montage!) and one of the Rhone river close to Montelimar.
