Add the sound of the cicadas and the smell of pin trees mixed with lavender...

Cicadas in the summertime is one of my favorite noises. Enjoy, Oli!

Went to visit a river

And a very very old mill. An underground river was used to drive the wheel. You can see the vertical axis in the lower right of the pic.

Boom, back down to the south of France for 3 weeks. Massive vacation. Currently in Labenne-Ocean, next to Biaritz, the French mecha for surfers (south west of France above Spain).

Will post pics.

Could possibly participate in the Picture game thread still...

Stoopid Parisian car got stuck, maybe 1 km from our destination. Those "chains" are crap, especially when you have to go uphill. They are maybe ok on flat ground. Not approved for a trip in the Alps, my son had to come get us with his golf 4motion. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191223/34858db5bd036e92651ad2958d9bad87.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191223/3ce04fbaac340f07e5f12a0c37c69e0b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191223/8945767523699d52259ad5d9231d8af4.jpg
