Tuesdays of Texture: Prie-Dieu
Posted on August 30, 2017
This old and worn ‘prie-dieu’ (prayer stool) at the Abbaye de La Réau could probably do with being re-upholstered, but meanwhile it shows some interesting textures:
Tuesdays of Texture: The Wall

A rather different perspective – from a roof terrace – of the cloister of the Cistercian Abbey of Noirlac:
Tuesdays of Texture: Gladiator
Posted on August 15, 2017
Waiting for the start of a gladiatorial display at the Cassinomagus archaeological site.
Tuesdays of Texture: Ruined Abbey
Posted on August 9, 2017
This partly overgrown double arched window can be found at the medieval Franciscan Abbaye de la Réau in the Vienne département of France. It looks like it’s had some restoration work done on it, but there’s a long way to go.
Weekly Photo Challenge: Textures

These reeds contrast with and at the same time emphasise the smooth flow of the River Indre as it flows through the town of Loches in central France.
Tuesdays of Texture: Wild Flowers
Posted on August 2, 2017
This year, we (which is to say Madame) sowed a mix of bee-friendly wild flowers in a couple of our raised beds. The bees certainly like them and it’s interesting to see some flowers that I certainly haven’t encountered before – like this colourful and very bristly specimen.
Tuesdays of Texture: Fenceposts

Favouring the rustic look with these fenceposts at the Roman archaeological site of Cassinomagus:
Tuesdays of Texture: Gargoyle
Posted on July 18, 2017
This gargoyle – I believe it’s in the form of a griffin – sits looking out from the roof of Chateau de Meillant, in central France. (Incidentally, I haven’t edited the colour of the sky at all – it really was that bright.)
Tuesdays of Texture: Fruit Salad
Posted on July 4, 2017
On the outskirts of Limoges, a forty-minute drive from here, is a shopping centre which has a branch of ‘Grand Frais’ (literally ‘big fresh’). Here it’s possible to buy fruit and vegetables of more exotic origins than are generally available in supermarkets.
Tuesdays of Texture: Moss
Posted on June 27, 2017
This moss-covered stone can be found in the grounds of the impressisive Chateau du Meillant, in central France.
