Description Hatay Province, or Alexandretta as it is known in Syria, is a Turkish province on the border with Syria which was ceded to the Turks by the French in 1939.
(and for those of you Indiana Jones fans - this is the province that was the final resting place of the Holy Grail in the 1989 movie The Last Crusade)

J'aime beaucoup cette photo. Les couleurs sont vraiment très agréables et chaude. Ca sent bon les vacances...

La brume en arrière plan ajoute une réelle profondeur à l'image et assure un fondu doux avec le ciel.

Bref, du très très beau travail!
