This is part of the beach at the southern tip of Oléron as it looked seventeen years ago. That old tree trunk may be gone by now. The beach resembles a wildlife preserve more than a beach for bathers, which was fine for us. Our dog at the time, Callie, enjoyed running around in the sand.
Dead tree on the beach, Ile d'Oléron, May 2008.
The predicted weather system is coming through now. There's far less wind and rain than I expected. And the temperature is a balmy 10.9ºC, about 52ºF.
You have to get back to Oléron and get a current photo for us, don’t you think?
ReplyDeleteThat is a very cool photo, Walt.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mitchell. We definitely need an update on this tree.
