Beautiful pictures, thanks so much for sharing. It is always awesome to see pictures from other places, even more so when they are from another country.

Merci! Thank you so much for these photos! I spent some time in Corsica when I was living in the south of France, and just loved the ruggedness of it. Though very different, it puts me in mind of the north shore of Lake Superior in Ontario, Canada. The open nature, sparse population, mountains, and water make me feel a part of the earth, rather than a society. Maybe that is good for us now and again?
Thanks again for the memories!

Looks like Corsica is almost an undiscovered tourist site. Thanks for sharing! How nice to be there in August without it being crowded like so many other places are during the annual flight from cities in Europe!

It's not over developed either - except for in the main cities, there's no appartment buildings over 4 storeys high and even those are pretty small. Still, I guess it's hard to build high rise on the side of a mountain! :D

Just breathtaking, K! Oh, what I'd give to be able to visit and experience all that you did. The kids must have had a great time. Though, I noticed there are no pictures of YOU..... I'm so glad you posted these pictures.
