Cycling the Camargue again

This morning, after following the wind forecasts, we set off on a low-wind day, to cycle a different trail in the Camargue (marshland in the Rhone River delta).  The Camargue is famous for several things, among these are bulls, white horses, and flamingos.  Today's ride included all of these.

This sculpture honoring both bulls and horses is in Saintes Maries des la Mer

While the wind was indeed pretty low, we were surprised to encounter fog.  It burned off starting about 11.
