Last Sunday after a trip to get the all so important ration of vegs at the local market of La Pallice, we ventured out to La Rochelle’s harbour. I really like the place, during the week-end it feels like an empty theatre, a contrast with the week days where the place is packed with movements, hard labour, strange codes that are only understood by the workers. I learned since that the place is soon to be fenced up…I am already missing the walks…
Fishing harbours are great places. The picture of the winding gear reminds me of an incident in Sardinia involving a mad Frenchman and a fishing boat. Suffice it to say it all ended happily with the TG, a friend and I having a meal with the fishermen admiring some pornographic strip cartoons – the mad Frenchman wasn’t invited ……….
thank you for sharing this insight on your life DP, I take this is where you developed your fascination for the frogs?
how spectacular & how disastrous to be fenced off
Frog fascination? Not sure I want to know anything about that…
Lovely photos, as usual. (Hat tip)
