Ile des Embiez - Flickr

After visiting the blogspot today, I decided to go ahead and browse Flickr in search of a picture that I would like in order to complete scenario 1. I typed in a couple tag names, and I was agreably surprise to fall onto a picture of the spot I used to hang out at when I was a kid!

This picture shows the island (named "L'Ile des Embiez") close to my parents' house where I grew up, and we would go there at least every weekend in the summer (sometimes on week nights) to swim and relax. It is about 20 minutes away by boat and it really is a small paradise. Few people, blue sea, shadded areas to rest when it is too hot outside, trails, etc... It was my very favorite place when I grew up, and I was very surprise to find it pictured on Flickr!!! This picture was taken, most likely, at the very top of the small montain on the island, where you can see the whole area at a glance.

Enjoy!
