- Description:
- Looking from behind a bank of trees across a rocky inlet of the Mediterranean Sea at the Forteresse de Saint-Honorat, a tall stone fortress on a spit of land in the sea. The fortress is visible behind a stunted tree and is framed by more robust trees to either side. The sea and the sky are the same light, unbroken tone, making the position of the fortress a bit mysterious.
- Notes:
- Matted salted paper print.
