User / Trey Ratcliff / Arles and Van Gogh
Trey Ratcliff / 6,453 items
We rented a tiny car in Montpellier and decided to spend a while randomly driving around the south of France. Regular visitors know that I'm enamored with the impressionists of the late 19th century. Even though I have yet to embark on the full tour of the homes of my favorites, I did make a point to stop in the hometown of Vincent Van Gogh for a quick look.

This is Arles, which is only a short drive from Montpellier and less than an hour from the Côte d'Azur. The streets are quaint and quiet. There are a few tourist areas, but after a few steps in a random direction, you're back in the old streets. I needed to stay for longer for more exploration (!), but I did my best to make use of the short time I was there.

Trey's Tip: Often times, I don't like to get people in my photos, unless it is unavoidable. This means there is a lot of waiting involved. It can seem sometimes like the universe is conspiring against you, when one person after the next keeps walking down the lane in your shot. Try to be patient and set your mind at ease... Maybe you can take this chance to let your brain think free and clear about different things. That free-association time may help you on other shots for the rest of the day.
