An Ancient House . . .

These details are from the same very dilapidated and rather abandoned looking house with an attached barn in a small village near Bourbonne les Bains (Baths of Bourbon Whiskey?). . . I love stumbling on surprises like this piano playing clown image behind an ancient window, or the horse carving on a brace holding up a roof section on the front of the barn. Over the door carved in the stone it says "Dieu Soit Beni 1724", (God Be Blessed 1724). I would have really loved to have been able to go inside and see what kind of stuff had piled up in there over the past nearly 300 years. . .
