A different perspective on this litle track that runs off the road between here and the next hamlet:
Shining through

You know those glass bricks¹ you can get to go in your bathroom? Well this is what can happen when you shine a light through one of them:

Holding Up
Posted on January 27, 2017
Regular visitors to this blog may already know that our house was a major renovation project – which is why its working title is ‘Brokedown Palace’.
The first job our builders had to do was to stop the front wall from falling off. Eventually they worked their way round to the back, where they just had to stop it falling down.
Fortunately, they managed that too:
‘The Bus Came By..’
Posted on January 20, 2017
To be perfectly honest, as a general rule I don’t find ‘public transport’ a particularly interesting subject for photography. However, as this subject has come round again in Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge it gives me an opportunity to post this picture, taken in downtown Sydney.
As an image, I admit it doesn’t really have much to offer, but if you happen to be a Deadhead it raises a smile, assuming that you are familiar with the lyrics of the Grateful Dead’s second-set improvisational vehicle (sic), ‘The Other One’:
Escapin’ through the lily fields
I came across an empty space
It trembled and exploded
Left a bus stop in its place
The bus came by and I got on
That’s when it all began
Roman Head

I saw this striking carved head on display in the museum attached to the Argentomagus archaeological site – a Roman town built over an Iron Age village – in the Indre département of central France.
Forest Path

That’s my family up ahead, on a walk along one of the forest paths in the Beecraigs Country Park, near Linlithgow in central Scotland.
The Restoration Project
Posted on December 30, 2016
This huge house is located right in the centre of the village of Mézierès-sur-Issoire. It has lain empty and neglected for as long as anyone can remember, or so it seems. However, when it came on the market a few months ago it was snapped up very quickly. Admittedly it was on offer at a knockdown price, but by all accounts there is a huge amount of restoration to be done. It certainly looks like it, especially in this sepia-tinted image.
Fishing Boat At Anchor

On a very calm and sunny day in the harbour of St Andrews, this little fishing boat was reflected almost perfectly in the still water.
The Boxer

This Bonobo monkey at Valleé des Singes looks like it’s squaring up to the knotted rope:
