Good idea... not sure the oil lobby goons will go for it though...<br /><br />Jeff, j'espere qu'il y en a plein qui vont voter pour le blog d'Arnaud... entre lui et Loulou, l'Inde a deux blogs extraordinaires !

Today's definition of "lucky sod" is someone who gets to lay down and smell the remnants of centuries old slop and offal by placing his nose in the crack between two cobble stones while trying to get a ground level photograph and keep his tee shirt clean all the while..."

As we see, they still exist here and there. The stonework of the cathedrale is beautiful. Each one has it own shade and hue. Lovely! And Owen, your introduction was very elegiac and pensive.

I am super impressed with the wonderful hisotrical themes you lucky sods have other there, our country isn't nearly as old in terms of settlement which means we don't have as many old things to take photos of!
