Valras Plage is an expansive stretch of white sand located where the Orb River flows into Mediterranean Sea. Even though the beach is very popular it is large enough that it is possible to find open space and privacy.
Behind the beach is a stretch of dunes. It is there that I found this agave. It was the simple beauty of the flowering plant, the clear blue sky, the warm light of the late summer sun, and the textures of the sand and grass that called to me.
