Chateaubriant Daily Photo - Pays de la Loire
Another day, another photoblog.
Like yesterday’s this one is also annotated in both French and English.
Chateaubriant Daily Photo is a clever mix of superb photos, each catagorised by a colour.
After 840 posts, it’s hard to choose ones that stand out; they really are all very good!
I suppose that if I were put up against a wall, with a firing squad at the ready and someone threatening to smash my Johnny Hallyday record collection, I would probably come up with the following posts that interested me and have provoked some thoughtful reflection….
1). Etang – water and trees. A great combination for me.
2). Les vélos d’André – wondering how long it would take to strip them do and do them up?
3). Petit bois – water and trees again?
4). Fisherman – the way fishing should be. The photo is captioned… “The fish are requested not to bite during the nap!”
5). No Fish – “I found this line which floated at the edge of the pond. There was neither fish on one end nor fisherman on the other.”
6). Abandoned – what stories could it tell? And such a shame for buildings to lie empty when people sleep rough.
7). Grrr… – a mushroom post!
8). No – Yes – Ouf – humour and shades of Thelwell, too!
And finally…
9). Tôt – my favourite. Memories of early morning walks into the forest. Days of promise of baskets full of mushrooms or, (and sometimes also), a sighting of deer!
A photoblog is difficult to write about (or, at least, I find it difficult to write about them.) People have their own tastes in pictures just as in music and poetry and, just as with poetry, pictures promote a very personal communication.
I’ll have to offer you the only advice I can…
Spare a little bit of time and investigate Chateaubriant Daily Photo. You’ll be glad you did!
All the best
