This was taken around 7AM in the beautiful city of Arles,France. Just as I was ready to take the shot a postal truck pulls up right in front. Had to wait 10 minutes until he left.
Used PB and Topaz detail for sharpness.

Hey Dave,
Well worth the wait IMOI really like the comp, colors and your use of PB. The sky is lovely too. I do see a slight distortion so I took into PS (hope you don't mind) and in order to not lose the edge on left of the image while correcting the distortion, I duplicated the layer, use the transform tool and pressed the cmd/ctrl key while pulling the upper left corner handle a bit to straighten it out. I then used a layer mask to hide the effect on the left side. Very minor tweak for a beautiful image that I would be happy to hang in my wall.

Dave, this is awesome with beautiful clean light (and no postal truck!). I love the effect the filters have on the textures and colors. It's exactly how I picture a European town.
Hi Dave, very lovely image and processing too! Susan's tweak for the distortion works very well.
Beautiful setting and composition, Dave. I like the effect and colors. Wonderful lighting.
Hey Dave,
I like the PP'ing effects you applied.....but I would crop from the LH side.....to eliminate the sky/clipped roofline. Susan tweaks and the crop.....will put this over the top!
