The Shape of Woman

The woman on the right is the sculpture of Vénus by Aristide Maillot in Perpignan. The sculpture on the right stands in the foyer of a student dormitory in Prag, unfortunately I did not find a plaque with the artist’s name.

Are You in a Shopping Mood?

Two opposites: outdoor shopping in Valledoria in Sardinia – indoor shopping in Forchheim in Franken.

And here is the competition – CBD instead of tobacco. And dolls, lotsa dolls.

Only for window shopping if you don’t want to bring home dust collectors in your home.

And inside my favourite kind of store in Bourg-en-Bresse. Not just tables and tables stacked with books but also with notes of the booksellers and their personal critiques (the good books get little hearts).

Is Four Dogs Considered a Pack?

I was hiking on my own in southern France. I wanted to walk up to the Tour de la Massane above Argelès-sur-Mer near Perpignan. I passed one farmhouse with two dogs trying to block my way and I passed them, feeling very uneasy doing so. About a kilometre further on, the road led past another farmhouse and this time it was four dogs that barricaded the my way. I didn’t dare to go back (because of the two I had already met) so I kept walking and the old guys were hanging back but the black one kept getting closer. I decided not to chance it and took the next turn back down towards where I had parked the car. He was friendly enough but followed me all the way back to my car, I guess he wanted to make sure that I really left.

Le bac près le Grau-du-Roi

For Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge I checked out ferry photos and I came across these from about 20 years ago. I know it was near Grau-du-Roi in the Camargue but I cannot pinpoint it further. Water, Water Everywhere
