I don't know if the intricate metal work makes it sound louder, or just looks interesting.

And this little piggy had none...

Ooops.

This little piggy...

Apparently counting toes.

First half hour free. Any takers?

A disguised tower

2012-02-17T11:57:00.000+01:00

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.

All alone on the main road near St Gaultier.

Gonna lock my heart ...

2011-12-31T16:14:00.000+01:00

... 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.

Early September and still cool.

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

Well, well.
