La Corrèze #3

The Eyrignac Manor Gardens

The gardens are to the West of La Corrèze, actually in the Dordogne region.

When we had been in the area previously we had decided to visit Eyrignac Manor Gardens which lie near the town of Sarlat. The gardens are unusual in that there are very few flowers, with the emphasis being on structure, form and texture.

After a drive of around 1h40, we arrived just in time for lunch (never a bad thing in France) and promptly found a table in the restaurant and enjoyed a salad before strolling round. The photos don't need much explanation so I'll let them speak for themselves.

    These are very beautiful photos - I might be wrong but these look more like Eyrignac than Marqueyssac?

    Perfect lighting, is it all natural or includes post-production?

      Thanks for your comment Ajit. I used a polariser for all these shots, which helped to saturate the colours and keep contrast in the sky. I then applied a 'Landscape' filter in Lightroom, which darkens the shadows and adds a bit more 'punch', but I'd say 75% is the effect of the polariser.
