Tuesday Photo Challenge: Definitely Yellow
Posted on July 18, 2017
This week’s Tuesday Challenge at Dutch Goes The Photo is to post an image of something yellow.
I don’t know what these flowers are called, but they are most definitely yellow.
Tuesday Photo Challenge: Steps
Posted on June 27, 2017
Answering the theme of ‘steps’ this week is this dramatic-looking staircase to be found in the twelfth-century church in the nearby village of Saint-Martial-sur-Isop.

If I want to see something old, I just need to look in the mirror. Fear not though, I’ll spare you (and me) a self-portrait in response to this week’s Tuesday Photo Challenge theme, set by Frank at Dutch Goes The Photo!
Instead – and infinitely more interesting – here is an image of a Roman-era funerary statue recovered from archaeological excavations at Argentomagus, in central France. Is it just me, or does he look like he’s wearing a beanie hat?
Tuesday Photo Challenge: Street
Posted on May 23, 2017
All the most interesting streets have a bend in them so you can’t see where they’re leading to – like this one in the old part (Cité) of Carcassonne, in southern France:
