This abstract tapestry hangs in the Museum of Tapestry in the town of Aubusson. Predominantly black and white(ish), it’s leavened by a few splashes of colour.

There is still an extensive medieval centre in the the city of Limoges although, unlike in many other places, the old buildings are still in active use with more up-to-date shops and businesses.
In Bruges
Posted on May 5, 2021
I’ve played a little fast and loose with the prompt for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week. ‘Real v Fake’ is the challenge, but what we have here is a model (i.e. fake) of medieval Bruges, set in the centre of the real Bruges.
Let There Be Light
Posted on April 28, 2021
Cee’s challenge for this ‘assignment’ is to juxtapose natural and man-made light.
This photograph shows the interior of the old church in the ancient village of Saint Cirq Lapopie. On the wall on the right is the natural light of the sun, but the rest of the illumination is provided by the sunlight passing through the man-made stained glass widows.
Shiny Scent Bottles
Posted on April 21, 2021
This week’s Fun Foto challenge is looking for something shiny. These perfume bottles were part of a collection that was displayed at a ‘hobbies’ expo a couple of years ago.
The Rusty Pram

The Fun Foto Challenge this week has the theme of ‘texture’. There’s lots of that in this battered old doll’s baby carriage, not to mention the concreted wall behind it and the gravel beneath.
A Matter Of Scale
Posted on April 7, 2021
Cee’s theme for the Fun Foto Challenge this week is the size comparison of objects.
From Madame’s extensive collection of elephants:
Inevitably, this challenge reminded me of some classic Father Ted (for the uninitiated, one of the finest UK sitcoms of the past forty years)
Roses In Decline

Sic transit gloria mundi.
Madame’s very lovely Mothers’ Day bouquet, two weeks on.
