Thread: 1066 and all that

I have a mate with a house in Normandy. Not the one near Guildford, the one in France. Where William the Conqueror hailed from. It's a lovely place, all granite and grass, with a great line in cider, cheese and other foodstuffs that the French keep wisely to themselves. We went over a week or two ago; he pops over to make sure everything is alright for him and his wife for Christmas - our last job before leaving was to make the fire so that one match will do the job in another three weeks. It was a grand weekend. I took with me my M2, pinhole and the X10 from which here are some fruits. Enjoy

Waterfall:


A field of saffron with a farmhouse in the distance - or the rusty piggery roof... you decide


The romance of sea travel...

Looks like a wonderful place! Love the roof shot...

Bill, I really enjoyed this set.
The waterfall and saffron just are stunning.

As a student of Anglo-Saxon, I always say that the last legitimate English monarch was Harold; all the rest are descended from the Norman usurper!

But I'm not so reactionary that I don't like the shots from your lovely X-10. Nice work.

Love thre saffron roof Bill ;-)

the stolen kiss is a classic!

Love the images. I am thinking piggery roof.. but the color is amazing and I would have shot it too!

Bill, you have excelled yourself. The roof is genius.

A truly superior* series of images.

* superior, at least, to anything I've done. Bravo!

Thank you all; praise indeed!
