The Stangala valley, cut by the Odet river just outside Quimper, is thick with legend, and on a foggy morning it’s easy to see why. Ancient oaks and beeches rise straight out of a floor of moss and fern, their upper branches vanishing into drifting cloud, while the river itself moves quietly below, barely visible through the haze. I spent the whole morning watching the fog thin and thicken again, waiting for the one moment when the light would carry just far enough into the trees to give the scene some depth.
