COTI-CHIAVARI, CORSICA, FRANCE

IMAGE NUMBER 962

Wildflower season is particularly beautiful on Corsica. Tender pink, yellow, and white colors paint the island slopes when the wildflowers bloom. At this time the Corsican air is filled with a strong floral perfume. It is said that in Spring ancient mariners could sense their proximity to the island from the perfume in the air.
