Now we are six

Late again, but my excuse is that although I'm not six, nor even a multiple of six, I am one year older than I was this time last year.

I felt obliged to do six pictures this week - one of these days I'll be able to settle on a single picture but not today.  Each picture does have six things, and I think easy enough to spot.

The Mediterranean Sea

This was taken just after the Grand Prix of Monaco, when there would have been wall-to-wall yachts. 


The church in Collonges-la-Rouge in France
The whole of this village is built in red sandstone.  It is a spectacular sight but sadly it is almost entirely dependent on tourists and during the winter is completely dead.


A retaining wall alongside a river in France
Not the most inspiring sight perhaps, but it captured my imagination somehow, wondering if the drainpipes all spout at once.  I should go and have a look next time it rains.  That's likely to be any moment now, and all tomorrow, and ...

A visitor to our garden
I find it very hard to take photos of birds, I'm far too slow to react.  No wonder I like buildings so much!

A window in a church near Winchester in England

I've used this picture before, or one very similar, when describing this ancient church.


Bridges on the river Gartempe in St Savin, France
I thought I might have used this picture before too, but if so, I can't find it.  The bridges are beside the beautiful church of St Savin sur Gartempe.

  5. Happy birthday, and congratulations on six of six. I just got back from France and felt very clever knowing where those photos had been taken.
