Mar 18, 2025
City walks visits Hyeres, France. On this spring morning we descend from the fortress on the hill above Hyeres that overlooks the Mediterranean sea down through the old heart of the city. It was already a warm day at 9 am but the sunshine was welcome. As always, let me know in the comments if you'd like me to change anything up. I'm still experimenting a bit with gear and style. I used a gimbal and a gopro session on this walk.
