Alma mater

This is one of the many fine, typically Scottish stone buildings that form the estate of St Leonard’s School in St Andrews, my daughter’s eye-wateringly reassuringly expensive boarding school all those years ago.
Keep It Clean

Will that ice cream be consumed before any of it drips onto that turquoise polo shirt?
Of course. Never in doubt.
Three Knights

Nothing to see here…
Three knights in armour chatting on a street in the nearby village of Rancon. Couldn’t have anything to do with it being the day of the medieval fair, could it?
Swatters

A close-up look at a small sample of our collection of colourful fly swatters. Hopefully, the fly gets an even closer view – although they usually get away.

Cee’s theme for her Fun Foto Challenge this week is ‘Oddball’. I think this qualifies.
After all, surely one of the things you least expect to see when you go off to the commune’s depot in order to gather some material with which to decorate a float for a parade is an artificial skeleton suspended from the rafters (and no, it wasn’t for a Hallowe’en parade either).

Petrified
Posted on January 28, 2022
Near the village of Savonnières-Villandry there is a network of caves in which a constant process of petrification is going on. Any object that is left inside is slowly but inexorably turned to stone through a continuous process of petrification.
Saint Fillan’s Cave

Is it a door or is it a gate? Let’s compromise and call it a gate in a doorway.
This little grotto was said to be the dwelling place of the Christian ascetic Saint Fillan. It’s very small, which is why it’s tucked away in a a little alleyway in Pittenweem.
The guitar
Posted on January 22, 2022
Cee’s theme for this week’s Black & White Challenge is anything to do with music.
My grandson is, though I say so myself, a very talented guitarist and this image is a detail of his electric guitar – or, more accurately, one of his electric guitars.
