Thank you for your excellent photos of Corsica, and your explanations. I am reading Prosper Merimee's "Colomba," and wanted a view of the island so carefully described therein. You provided those views, and more! With gratitude

Thank you.
Corsica is a place I've long wanted to visit, but about which one doesn't see a lot written. These photos paint an interesting picture, not only of the island and its landmarks, but also of the people and their lifestyles. Thank you also for the historical-cultural information.
