The outside light
Posted on February 3, 2023
In France, it is a legal requirement that all doors with external access must have a light above them (although it doesn’t have to be on all the time). This one is above our kitchen door.
Bolted
Posted on January 27, 2023
There’s a metal five-barred gate that allows tractors to get into the fields behind our house. It’s secured by this bolt, as seen on a very frosty morning.
Tree rings

This tree obviously had a fw years under its belt before it was cut down and turned into logs, like this one from my woodpile.
The Musical Chandelier

This quirky and unusual chandelier hangs in the foyer of a hotel in Toulouse.
The curious lamb
Posted on January 6, 2023
This baby lamb was intrigued as we walked past their field about half a mile from our house (humans are vastly outnumbered by sheep in these parts).
The tangled undergrowth and monochrome treatment gives an almost abstract feel to the overall image.
Zen

A contemplative (indeed, reflective) scene in the Japanese Garden in Toulouse.

The wedding car
Posted on November 4, 2022
Back in the summer, I did the ‘official’ photography of the wedding of the daughter of a friend. The bride was driven to the ceremony by her father in this sporty little number.
It most definitely had an engine (although no bonus point for actually showing it), but also this attractively laid-out – and now rather retro – interior arrangement of wheels and dials.
Halfway there
Posted on October 28, 2022
Heading west from our house, it’s about a mile to the nearest ‘main’ (everything is relative) road. This stretch of the glorified track is at about the halfway mark.
What Lies through this window?
