The story

It was our first time in Corsica, a beautiful island with flat, wide roads on the side facing Italy and narrow mountain roads on the other; luckily we still had our first camper, a petrol/gas Fiat 238, very small and nimble. We stayed along the coast and also inland towards the old capital, among unspoilt woods where wild boar still lived; at one point a mother boar crossed the road in front of us with all her piglets in a line. A place we returned to in the following years I took these photos with a Nikon on film, then the photos were scanned and put into the computer
