Compare and contrast

Not long ago, I posted a scan of a watercolor of Saint-Aignan that was done for a local tourist map. A week ago, when I was on the island walking with Tasha, I took a photo close to the same view. Here it is.

My photo of the view.

And here is the watercolor, again. You can see reality versus art. I didn't set out to take the same view, but it just so happened that I did.

The artist's impression.

Saturday was a very rainy and windy day. We need the rain, but it was still a dark and wet day. Oh well, that's fall for you.
