Aerial picture taken above the Camargue, south of France.
This wetland, made of marshes and ponds, became, for a few decades, one of the favorite oasis for flamingos.
The photo depicts a minimalist immersion in the intimacy of flamingos, in atypical landscapes of Camargue. A small group of flamingos is eating in the corner of a pink saline, where a salty wave formed, while two flamingos are taking off.
The Camargue might disappear in a few decades from the map, due to the changing climate and the rising sea level.
This picture is going to be somehow an heritage of this region in danger.
