In October I went to Honfleur in Normandy. I promised some pictures - so here they are -

This is the wooden church of Honfleur - inside it looks like a boat that has been turned upside down.

This is the bell tower of the same church - It was too heavy to go on top - so they put it across the road!!

The Vieux Bassin - or old harbour

Beach huts at Deauville - just down the coast.
Beware - I may post some more pics when I get back!!

LOL - the beach huts are named after movie stars...it's like going into an Odean cinema where the toilet cubicle doors have the names of movie stars on...I was Marylin Monroe a few times you know! :wacko:

Didn't go to Honfleur, Robster, but loved Deauville. Would like to go again and spend a bit more time driving around Normandy. We missed the military graveyards completely!!!!

They are super pics Rob, I love the fact that the bell towere was to heavy so they stuck on the other side of the road!! :laugh:
Those beach huts look gorgeous!!
The whole place was wonderful - beware my next installment of holiday photos from France - coming to a screen near you - soon!

Good.
They are beautifull pictures of a beautifull place. When you see a harbour with tall narrow buildings dont' you just itch to draw it???
Look forward to the next installment Robster.
dont' you just itch to draw it???
Made me wish I could draw! The harbour is really beautiful - there are loads of cafes/bars/restaurants around it - we spent a lot of time there!!
Next installment is Nice - before the end of the week - I hope!
Made me wish I could draw!
Don't be so defeatist, next time take a blow up photocopy of one of your pictures and trace it onto a new peice of paper. Then you can sit there at your easel and thoughtfully colour it in with crayon.
