below the ramparts

Although I have a wealth of photo opps, such as gorgeous flowers plus bees so drenched in pollen they are hardly recognisble, I feel like posting a few more of my photos from our week in France.

This view is from the ramparts of le Chateau des Ducs de Bretagne in Nantes. Down below you can see the tramway we used for transport into the city and whose ticket machine gave us so much trouble. I've since heard of other folk who have had similar problems with credit cards in similar machines in other European countries. Vive l'UEE!
Beautiful! I like the contrast between the old castle and the new tram

Beautiful Hazel sometimes you have to do what you feel is right for you -they are your photos and like me I want at the moment to remember my holidays on 365 rather than other mundane garden, flowers and local scenes so in my eyes ,this is OK ( apologies for the sermon !! lol )

@beryl

Thanks for your comment - I know it's my project my rules etc but I do like to keep my shots fairly current, if not always on the day. It just seems a shame to let pics that I really like go unposted. I certainly don't want to be constrained to posting only shots taken on the day - after more than 3 years of lovely 365!

@gigiflower

Thank you, Sam. Pretty good: 2 for 1 fares until end August - when we finally managed to get our ticket from the machine!

@quietpurplehaze LOL yes I remember that story you told..........you can go back now because you are an expert on the ticketing!

A super capture.

What a gorgeous scene. I wouldn't let this one go by either. Glad you posted it. Love the mixture of the old and the new.
July 30th, 2014  
What spectacular architecture. Lovely shot. The ticket system for the trams here is rubbish too.

Spectacular picture.

Such a lovely ornate building, are those chimney pots I wonder that are so pretty, (don't feel you have to answer) ;0)
It is a lovely viewpoint, I bet it is noisy on the underpass when a tram goes over

great pov here. nice to see a moat and the grass looks so neat
July 30th, 2014  
What beautiful architecture! I love the pov.
July 30th, 2014

July 30th, 2014  
I think this is a beautiful scene and capture. FAV from me.

I love this Hazel. The pov is excellent and the architecture of the building is so interesting. Fav!

Wonderful pov. I love the sweeping lines.
July 30th, 2014  
Lovely pov and textures nice leading line of the rampart too.

I agree with you and also do the same. 365 has become a funny sort of diary for me. This is a super capture - great pov.

@tremerryn

Thank you for your comment. I think a diary does not have to be necessarily in order as all our experiences are stored somewhere in us and I like to revisit them when I feel the need.
