That is indeed fascinating. I pored over it for some while.

Just so peaceful...

Amazing to have such beauty on your doorstep.
Maybe it would have been worth bravely venturing into the cave. You may have been rewarded with piles of ancient gold.
Love the weatherworn little tree in this shot.

Looks indeed to be nice place to explore, narrow streets, old buildings..

I like tonality of this photo, suits well with this industrial environment. Not fan of tagging signs, though here they add this abandoned feeling.

Love such old gnarled trees.

😯 Shame you missed it!

Nice portrait

Sorry, I forgot that there could be others looking at this thread, frequent visitors probably know from where each of one is. But these are from my hometown Tallinn, Estonia. It has medieval old town in city center, some parts of it are quite well preserved and there are quite frequently various events taking place.

Superb. The second above has simplicity and subtlety. Must put this place on my 'returning home' route one day. Vézeley I think.

I did take peek. Piles of recent aluminium more like 😉

Study in shapes and textures and in b&w.

Yes, Vézelay. Thanks for the correction.

We stayed in a hotel in the village, and got there early before more visitors arrived. If you like this sort of thing, it is vell worth thinking about it as a stopping off point. It is quite near the Motorway. We did make the mistake of believing the Satnav, which took us to the Motorways that circle Paris. It was hell, in the heat.

Looks like there are some good walks to be had in this area. I really like these sort of rugged landscapes.

I thought this was a picture of a cormorant at first glance.

This has to be seen big to enjoy it. A nice study.

The cows are not stupid. that is the best place to be on a hot day.

Yes, Great White Frozen North has +33C and humidex 42 today. That's Tropics!

This is obviously a great scene with almost endless possibilities for composition.

While attention-grabbing, I think the scene actually is overwhelming, too busy and cluttered as is. There are so many "sub-themes" and stand-alone compositions within this over-all view that would be far more powerful, exploited individually.

Never-the-less, fascinating. Well done!

That was what I saw. There are a few dead trees with maybe a beak or a head at the end of a branch but not enough to get my interest. I have walked past this one many times but it never caught my eye - maybe it needed the angle of the light to create the dark shadow...

Thanks Nigel
