Château de Montfort

Another Dordogne Valley castle, this time Montfort. French Wikipedia has an extensive timeline of historical information if you're interested (there's also a link to a summary in English). Apparently, the castle was fought over a lot, destroyed and rebuilt at least four times in its history.

Le château de Monfort, Dordogne.

Today is the autumnal equinox, the beginning of fall for those who prefer the astronomical way of defining the seasons. From now until next spring, each day will bring more darkness than daylight.

  1. I don’t think I’m ready for more darkness. But I suppose at least we don’t have the freezes that can come with it.

  3. It's dreary and kind of dark here this morning, because it's drizzling... 8 am, and it looks like 6 am.

  4. I for one will be glad for less sunlight.
