Peter in France

Just to show that life here is not the same as holiday here :






And it needs mowing again because we had some rain overnight last week.

Peter

Very nice pictures Peter. I always enjoy looking at them. You certainly live in an interesting part of the world.

Trev..

Love the pictures Peter. There's some beautiful scenery there.

That Pont du Gard aqueduct is amazing. How the heck did the Romans manage to build things like that? You certainly have some spectacular scenery Peter. Thank you for keep sharing the photos.

Something a bit different - the google satellite view of my village.

Probably taken end April because the vine growth is not well developed and many pools still have a winter cover (very dark blue or green).

Towards the top left you can see the church and village square surrounded by the old walled medieval village.
The old village is built on the top of a hill and the land falls away to the South East where newer houses have been built.

Just to the south of the village (and further South) are the remains of old olive groves still showing a very regular pattern.

To the far South East are the closest of the vineyards. The paler shape by the house is an area where the vines have been pulled up.

Count the pools !

I would rather watch the Kite Festival than watch some bullies, trying to take a small bull to ground. Now if it was the bull's Dad, then it would be more interesting.
