Perouges

This place is a must to visit. Passing through these gates is like stepping back in time.

I like this and think it would look good as a B&W too.

Now that is 'bootiful' Kev, I love rural France, many gems tucked away where you wouldnt think of looking. I had to google it and was surprised to see it was near the old road D1084 between Lyon and Bourg-en-Bresse that we lorry drivers used many moons ago.

Lovely part of the country to boot!

Thanks Denis.

Perouges, blue sky and 37C. It is a great spot if you ever get the chance to visit.

Loving that Kev ,the tone is wonderful ,

Wot NO ruddy tourist to ruin the shot ? I must have gone on the wrong day (back in the 90's).

My partner comes from the area and knows when to go to avoid the tourists.

Loving this one Kev - you said 'like stepping back in time' and I could imagine that as you walked down the path, between those beautiful buildings.

That's very nicely processed, Kev - looks superb.

I can't decide if it's just right as it is or if a single figure might have improved things. Mind you, the figure would have to be the right figure, not some tattooed bloke from Y*rkshire wearing multi-coloured shorts and Spiderman flip-flops.

I half expected marching troops shouting vive l'empereur. ?

Went the HDR route for this one. There was a huge range from shadow to the intense blue sky. 

I know what you mean about a figure. I often like to have a person in the shot.  Even a Yorkie.

Nicely worked Kev ... I know what Korks means about a figure maybe or even a cat asleep  somewhere  might  have worked  ...nevertheless I can understand how pleasing it is not to have it ruined  by  those  pesky tourists !

I  just googled it and found almost the same view  with those pesky  tourists  in it so ... i do prefer  yours !
