Appointment with my cardiologist this morning in the town of Montfort-sur-Meu. The Meu is the river which wanders through this little Breton town in a rather serpentine fashion. Not a good day to photograph this town as it was dull and raining but this side-street gives a flavour of the place. The cardiologist says I will be around to take photos for a while yet... if I do what she says!
This image is SOOC and is part of my ongoing OCOLOY project - you can read more about it in my post for 1 January and in my profile. I'm also tagging this for B&W February.
A big ♥ is a strong ♥, I think you have both those base's covered Richard,and photography has to be good exercise. You walk, and the thought that is required to get a good shot is stimulating.
I really like the leading lines; the walking path and the river. I am enjoying seeing a bit of the local "color". The scenery is so different than what I am used to. Glad to hear of your good check-up.
You make sure you do what she says! (I trust it includes a strict regimen of regular photography using the latest available equipment.) Through your OCOLOGY project you've mastered this kind of shot: a road/river/track heading off into the distance. Most attractive.
Well, hope her strictures are pleasing to you. I find the water in this particularly pleasing as I can imagine it as a sort of still, muddy opaque creek.
Nice one Richard.. but I am wary of medical people who tell me what to do or not do! My experience is that they are all too human and they don't leave their baggage at the door when they enter the consulting room.
@yrhenwr You're right, of course, but to be fair, her advice is sound. She has never been able to examine me while my heart is playing up, and that limits her ability to prescribe exactly the right treatment. So, she made me promise that the next time I wake in the night with an attack, I have to get up and go to the hospital so that they can carry out an ecg. The risk with fibrillation is not a heart attack but a much heightened risk of suffering a stroke... so I really do have to follow her advice.
@yrhenwr I'm sorry you speak from experience. I missed the golden opportunity two years ago on the eve of my cancer op as I awoke in the night in full fibrillation but I didn't call a nurse as I was afraid they would post-pone the operation, and, come the morning, everything had settled down again... as it usually does.
