First half hour free. Any takers?

A disguised tower

noreply@blogger.com (A. @ Photos from France) — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 02:57:00 PST

In spite of its rather medieval appearance, it is a water tower, built in 1957. It was built in the place of a beech tree which was struck by lightning in 1946. That tree had been planted at the end of the 18th century to mark the site of an old feudal castle. with a view over the valley beyond.

Late Roman city walls, built using stone from earlier buildings. Bourges cathedral is in the background.

Does Blogger blur pictures? This looks out of focus to me but the original before loading looks fine.

Petrol pump

All alone on the main road near St Gaultier.

Gonna lock my heart ...

noreply@blogger.com (A. @ Photos from France) — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 07:14:32 PST

... and throw away the key(s) ...

Heart shaped keyholes seem popular around here but they clearly feel the need for extra locks. Is the correct name "escutcheon"? I think it may be.

La Bonne Dame

La Bonne Dame, the statue on top of the chapel, was thrown into the river during the French Revolution but afterwards re-instated.

The Abbey Church of Saint Pierre at the end of the road.

Vines

Apparently grown more for decoration than production of grapes.

Changing colour

noreply@blogger.com (A. @ Photos from France) — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 05:18:00 PST

Early September and still cool.

Three weeks later, after three weeks of hot weather and no rain.

Well, well.

I suppose they can see out of it somewhere.

Someone's pride and joy, no doubt.

St Marcel church

Romanesque church.

Timber frames

The photo was taken during the winter. It looks as though there are normally flowers in a window box. The woodwork seems to be suffering from the watering.

Grape harvest

noreply@blogger.com (A. @ Photos from France) — Sat, 13 Aug 2011 14:22:20 PDT

A carved plaque above a door. It looks like gathering in the grapes, all except the couple on the right who appear to have forgotten the work on hand.

Sign

The old and the new. It's a shame they didn't leave it as it was.
