Customer Reviews

A beautiful, little gem.

I love Provence! I have never been there, but it is definitely on my lists of places to see. * * * * * * * * Sonja Bullaty and Angelo Lomeo have captured Provence in their photography, and in this case, they are postcards. The photographers are award- winners, and in this lovely collection, the viewer can certainly see why. The title "essence" is aptly chosen, because each postcard represents a gorgeous detail of this wonderful region. * * * * * * * * The scenes depicted here are perfect portrayals of the area.There are generous selections of flowers and nature, including lavender, sunflowers, herbs, red poppies, olive trees, plane trees and more. There is a harvested hay field, with the large roll of gathered hay, waiting to be put in an old truck to go to their destination. There are large farmhouses and tiny, ancient cottages, and beautiful windows, framed by flowers and greenery, with lace at the window. A close-up of the curved, terracotta, roof tiles, with kittens relaxing in the grooves is lovely. There are views of Roman architecture to remind us how old history is in Europe. * * * * * * * * The owner of this postcard book may want to keep it as it is; frame each postcard; or, establish a small easel with a frame to rotate the prints. But I could never mail them. They are for me!
