Vezelay, Shutters, Windows and Doors

For my Five on Friday post this week

I'm going back to our 2013 France trip

when we visited the ancient hill town of

Vezelay.

1.  This is the main road up to the Abbey Church

I thought I would focus on the doors,

windows and shutters of these beautiful old stone buildings.

2.  A new front door for this house.

Adorned with Wistaria which must look

spectacular in Spring.

3.  A variety of shutter styles

4.  A chambre d'hôtes (guest house)
one of several I saw.
Would you like to stay here?
Vezelay has a population of 400+
depending on the season. 

It is situated on top of a hill with wonderful
vistas of countryside France.

5.  I love the architectural details of the windows.

This building has a beautiful patina typical of 

medieval Vezelay and other medieval towns in France.

I'm joining Amy for Five on Friday

Thank you for hosting Amy.

Take care and 

be kind to one another

Thank you for visiting!

Beautiful Windows of France

I'm always attracted to the beautiful

windows when I'm in France

and take photos whenever I can.

I love the old doors and entrance ways too

I could do a series on these

but I need to get my photos in some order

as it takes me forever to find the ones I want!!

Last time I came back with over 3000 photos

not a good thing for someone like me.

I need to do some serious sorting

I'm open to suggestions to get this organised

so your tips and ideas are very welcome!

Now that I'm back working three days

time is precious and I have to use it wisely!

Wading through photos to find the right one

can get tedious as I'm sure you all know!!!

I'm joining Judith for Mosaic Monday

do pop in and say hello

maybe you would like to join in too.

I'll look out for you!

Take care and

be kind to one another

Merci à bientôt

Windows and Doors Photo Challenge

I have blogging to thank for my
interest in photography.
Hardly a day goes by that I'm not
out there with my camera!

It has also increased my awareness of the
world around me.
I've become a 'people watcher' and
a 'bird watcher'.
I also love capturing the seasons
as we move through the year.

I couldn't resist this one - peeping from her hide away!

All the photos were taken while I was in France!

I use a very basic 'point and shoot'

digital Panasonic Lumix DMC-FS3

with a Leica lens.

I take most photos on 'normal picture'

mode.

 

I'm joining Donna for her
