Luxury

LE LUXE

What is luxury; for a start, it is something totally different for each and everyone of us; so I might as well tell you what luxury is to me; in fact, I will illustrate a few of my ideas of absolute luxury with images, some of which will make you think, "well, of course!", while others may just surprise you. or not.

the luxury of the exclusive

a private railcar on the Blue Train in South Africa

a private bungalow on a far away beach

the luxury of something priceless

 family

friendship

the luxury of something rare

the exceptional "tomates russes" of  Huguette, the "dynamo" farmer in the Ardeche, South of France; they taste like no other. period.

and the images, like this incredibly magificent one of a luscious tomato, (just like Huguette's) of the most poetically stunning blog: www.ofilde.canalblog.com

the luxury of space

and of course,

the luxury of  time
