A view of the Creuse river in the Vienne, near La Roche Posay.
A view of the white cliffs of Dover as we left harbour December 2007. My parents used to live on the far side of the outermost cliff.
A view of the Mediterranean Sea from the top of Eze Village, near Monaco. You can see Beaulieu-sur-Mer below, and St-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, the peninsula in the distance.
This view, taken just a few days ago from a bridge crossing the river, has a story behind it. Almost exactly seven years ago we we were in the area by chance. We stood on the same bridge and saw the same view. We said how lovely it would be to have a house with a view overlooking the river, but I was sure they would be so desirable that they would most likely be sold by word of mouth. We continued over the bridge, turned left and saw a house up for sale. The rest, as they say, is history.
I won't be able to return visits until tomorrow at the earliest, but I will, I promise.

Happy Hunting.
One can easily see the warm and fresh chance in the season and great nature colour too.
ReplyDeleteI love all the views - but my #1 is from Eze Village. A very special village and view. And think about how the strabasiouse life people had there in the Middle Age.
ReplyDeleteThose are all beautiful views and a great story about your house.
ReplyDeleteHow luck you are! A house with such a view!! wonderful shots of lovely views. The one shot I have of the White Cliff of Dover when we were there over 20 years ago isn't nearly that good. :(
ReplyDeleteIt looks like there is a fairy tale castle in that last photo. How fantastic for you, to get a house in that area.
ReplyDeleteI love the view of the 3rd shot especially. What a breathtaking shot! Reminds me of the time, more than 12 years ago when I was in Taiwan during my army days. I was in this place call Heng Chun and we took a ride up a cliff. When we reached the cliff, we were overlooking the sea and it was really windy. It was the first time in my life I was standing at the edge of the cliff and looking out at the sea; it was really blue and wide.
ReplyDeletei wish i have the same lifestyle you have where you travel often... it must be exciting to see such beautiful views.
ReplyDeleteWow! Scenic views of parts of beautiful Europe. I hope to visit and take photos of these lovely places one day.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your trip. I'm guessing where you could be. :)
