Camargue Horses, Rhône Delta, France

White mares and their dark foals in the reeds of the Camargue while flamingos cross the sky, a scene that sums up the Rhône delta. The foals are no mistake: Camargue horses are born dark and turn white as they grow up. These horses are semi-wild rather than wild. They live outdoors year-round in the marshes, but each herd belongs to a manade, a ranch, and is worked by gardians, the delta's mounted herders, who use them to drive black bulls. Many of the best views come from the roadsides and ranch tours around Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer.
