Blustery and rainy

Today is la Toussaint (All Saints Day) and it is a national holiday in France. It's also the first day in a forecast series of weather systems rolling across the country. We woke up to blustery conditions with rain tapping on the roof.

That's our little Peugeot parked on the street. I obscured the license plate number to protect the innocent.

This photo is from a few weeks ago in Le Grand-Pressigny when it was also raining, albeit less than it is right now. I saw these folks coming down the street with their umbrellas open and thought it was a nice perspective. Immediately after I snapped the picture, they folded their umbrellas and ducked into a house.

    1. Anne Marie, it is, but it has been known for people to come down it to take a short cut, so it's best to never take such things for granted !!

    2. Yes... signage seems to be optional in Le Grand Pressigny!!

  2. There's something about this photo that makes me long to be in France where the streets are narrow and the buildings are old and made of different materials. Ah, France!

  4. Evelyn and Judith, I couldn't agree with you more! I could look at that stone face each day and never get bored.

  5. The guy in the photo appears to be lowering his parapluie while you shoot.
