After having a marvellous 24 days in France touring Brittany,Normandy and Provence I'm now paying the price for my gastronomical excesses. Have a good case of the gout and am hobbling my way around.
This was taken in a town called Fourgieres(sp?) where they happened to have some reenactors moving about the village. These fellows were happy to pose and reminded me of Monty Python...
Thanks Akos, This trip I didn't make it to Paris but have been there for a few days on previous trips. The interesting thing about France is it's a relatively small country with each border being influenced by a different country(both food and architecture) We go every 2 years and I'm already thinking about my next trip. Maybe the Alsace region and on into Belgium...
Thanks Jackie, I had a wonderful time between the scenics, wine,food and people. Luckily I had pretty good weather also. Had a lense issue so I had to compensate for the problem...
I was using a Nikon 17-85 VR and I noticed that when the lense was at it's widest focal length that either the lower or upper right corner of the image would be foggy. Never saw or heard of this before so quite frankly I was at a loss. I had to work around it and not open the lense up all the way which was a pain especially when your shooting scenics and architecture. I went to the Dr yesterday and got some meds. The foot is starting to come around. Thanks for asking...
