Stone

It seems I always wait the last minute to post my pictures...
I spent last week-end in the countryside and brought back a few stones !

These are all lovely, and clearly you seem to live in some not-North-American locale with the beautiful medieval columns and what looks an awful lot like French limestone...

but that stairway? With the lone chestnut? Is just a splendid picture.

Ah! I was right about the limestone. Yay me!

I love southwestern France. I lived near Limoges for a time (long ago), and had the chance to travel south from there. More recently, I spent a wonderful vacation walking in the Dordogne region, which is where I saw so many wonderful Romanesque carvings like the ones in your photos. I would so much love to go back again.
