I'm travelling back to England this weekend, so a very rapid rummage around my photos has revealed these candidates for support.
This and the next photo show the arches that support the bridge I featured for the theme "bright".
Massive wooden supports surround Les Halles in Questembert, built 1552, restored in 1675 and again in 1997. It is used these days for markets of all sorts, concerts and other exhibitions. There was an exhibition for ecological buildings while we were there, very well attended.
I managed to dodge between the exhibitors to take this picture of the timbers supporting the roof. An incredible sight.
Really though I can't leave this subject before saying that even though I have no supporting photos, I must thank everyone who has given me support on this blog. Some of you have been with me from the very beginning, others I've met along the way. So very many of you have become good friends, and I thank you.

Great shots. I particularly like the last one of the beams. Happy weekend
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! And have to say that you generally have a very good blog that's very much worth regularly visiting. :)
ReplyDeleteVery impressive and creative for this weeks theme. The photos supported by the text is very inormative.
ReplyDeleteI also like the last one with the beams. It's amazing some of the architecture that was put together long before modern tools were around.
ReplyDeleteI'm with the majority - those roof beams are fascinating, and very well photographed. Your other supports are good too.
ReplyDeleteI rather like the look of this comment method, might try it.

Those are wonderful photos. I love the first photo of the bridge, and those wooden timbers are great.
ReplyDeleteYou picked some great photos! I think that bridge is really pretty, and those timbers are so impressive.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, yet again. The last bit of your post sounded almost like a farewell - very much hope not.

A gorgeous choice for "support". Thank you for stopping by my blog. Come back again soon!

ReplyDeleteI'm in awe of the last photo. A massive amount of timber was used for the roof. Great support to the roof.
ReplyDeleteI'm touched that you still remember my son Jaymes. He is still having abdominal pains and is undergoing another series of tests to locate the cause.
Great pics, nice to see I'm not the only one who looks up....
