The rolling hillsides here in the south of the Dordogne (map), with their deep forests, produce glorious muted colours, with splashes of early morning sunshine in between.
The forests are busy with wildlife, many deer, a couple of foxes and rattling woodpeckers have been ticked off the list, whilst spider's webs are heavy with dew.
This morning was another of sunlight slowly breaking down the mists, while the horse in the field strode up the hill to meet the others. Click on the thumbnail right to see the full size image.
Many thanks to Philippe of Village de France for sending his own images of a misty morning in the Dordogne.

Stunning pic Craig. It was a lovely misty morning here too but did not think to get the camera out. I will next time.
Cheers Dawn

Hi, I was in the same part of France last week, Prats-du-Perigord near Belves, woke up one morning before sunrise and it was exactly has you describe it. I did take a couple of pictures that I'm happy to share. We had a good week there but we are now back home in Sussex.
