Aerial picture taken above the Camargue, in the south of France.
This wetland is atypical, unique due to its colorful marshes and ponds, and its geometric patterns.
It became, for a few decades, one of the favorite oasis for flamingos.
The photo depicts a minimalist immersion in the intimacy of flamingos, flying above an unusual and heavy green ponds, surrounded by lush green vegetation.
The Camargue might disappear in a few decades from the map, due to the changing climate & the rising sea level.
This picture is going to be somehow an heritage of this region in danger.
