in reality, these ropes are a hazard but through the lens, they invited a photographic attempt ...
I left New Zealand mid-2003, bound for Istanbul and a new lif. After two years, a Belgian guy lured me into his world, deep in the heart of Europe. For a long time I was an in-process immigrant. One day we married. These days it's about photography, a little red wine and wandering ... and so the journey goes.

Art, Honfleur
And this sight simply made me smile ... an art work alone on a street next to the Saturday market.
Boats ...
The wee boat sitting in the reflection of the big boat appealed immensely too.
Some images from Honfleur, France

The weekend ...
Although it was foggy and grey in Honfleur, the reflections still did their thing in the marina.

And home again ...
1200kms of wandering, in a car driven by Gert - beach-hopping on our way back from Honfleur - a beautiful little village in France.
I love two things about France (and so much more but) ... the food (the quality and the price of it) and the fact that it is cheaper to have wine with that food than it is to buy coke or coffee.
I love the wide-open spaces once you drive away from the highways.
It was good to be there again, and it's good to be home.
Gert gave me some lessons in landscape photography and I'm so very pleased with the results. This one was taken as we walked off the beach. Something made me look back and voila, we had 2 seconds of this light.

The Potter, France
Sometimes, it is the impromptu moments that gift a little bit of magic.
Did I mention the wolves in France?
We drove 110kms to visit Les Loups de Cabrieres and were glad that we had ...
This is one of the images taken while wandering there.
