Typiquement Français

photo 103
This is it! I can't believe vacations are over! 3 weeks ago I thought my challenge was to find different things to photograph. I don't know if I did it well but I know I had more than one picture to upload each day! I took many pictures that I didn't expect and didn't photograph a lot of things I had thought of. There's a little post on my blog with few different ones. Here is the link http://tinyurl.com/3xf6pgl.

For our last day of vacations, we went to a wood festival in a beautiful village named Urcel near Laon (in the department of Aisne). We discovered it and loved it. Unfortunately the weather was cloudy and rainy but I'm sure it's gorgeous on a sunny day. I hardly pick one picture for this project, so if you're interested there are more here: http://tinyurl.com/32f37cc

It's typically French because for those who don't recognize it, on the door it's a bag for baguettes! And I can't stop thinking how lovely this scene might have been on a sunny day with all the roses in bloom...

I checked out your other photos, one word awesome. I loved them all. What's with the one with the string/web over the water. What is that? Very interesting.

@ Vicky it's landscape art... great no? my picture is not very good but with the rain I could't take my time and lay down on the grass to have a better capture!

This one is cool.

I love intricate doorways like this. They hold so much mystery and promise. When you said wood festival, I didn't know what you meant but when I looked at your other photos I loved the scenes of the wood pile and the landscape. Thanks for sharing!

I can imagine the roses in bloom without any problems. Lovely shot!

Lovely shot; the texture of the stone walls adds to its beauty and that bread bag is a cute touch. Can imagine the roses in bloom.

This is so charmingly French! And the rest of your photos! They're just wonderful...*really* beautiful! Yes, the one of the "landscape" art caught my eye as it reminded me of the work of Andy Goldsworthy. And I loved the woodpile...how creative! The huge stone building with the flowers in front...just gorgeous! You've got wonderful vacation memories!

Summers come to an end as winter has come to an end where I live. Doors close but new doors open. Nice shot!
