Deep in Conversation – En pleine conversation
One of the things we like about taking the little boat across the Loire at Cours sur Loire with our bikes is that you always meet new people. The man’s brother (French) has been living in Brisbane for many years! Une des choses qui nous plaît bien lorsqu’on traverse la Loire en gabarre a Cours …

Sandbanks at Dusk – Bancs de sable au crépuscule
If you look closely in the middle of the sandbank, you’ll see a little red sign saying that people are not allowed to go there because it’s a bird reserve. I’m sure these banks are much bigger than last year. Gabriel Bridge (Blois) is on the right with the neighbourhood called Vienne on the left. …

A Stylish Ferry Stop – Un arrêt de ferry très design
This is the new structure indicating the stop for the little ferry that takes hikers and cyclists across the Loire from on the Montivault to Cour-sur-Loire. It’s very stylish but I’m not sure that it serves any purpose as the ferry times are on another sign! I’ll be interested to see what they’ve done on …

Light on the Loire – Lumière sur la Loire
This is a scene at Chaumont that I’ve often photographed but yesterday the light was most unusual. Voici un paysage à Chaumont que j’ai souvent photographié mais hier la lumière était très particulière.
Snow on Château de Menars – Neige sur le château de Ménars
I took this photo of château de Ménars yesterday on the way back from Chambord. The snow was so dazzling that I couldn’t take a sharp photo of the château. J’ai pris cette photo du château de Ménars hier sur le retour de Chambord. La neige était tellement éblouissante que je n’ai pas pu prendre …

Swanee River – La rivière des cygnes
For once, the weather and the week-end managed to get together so we went for a long walk along the Loire, just north of the nuclear power plant in Saint-Laurent-Nouan which you can see below. Spot the swans in the first photo. 22
Sunset over Blois – Coucher de soleil sur Blois
We haven’t been having much sun these days but the sky suddenly cleared late afternoon on New Year’s Day and gave us a wonderful sunset. Nous n’avons pas beaucoup de soleil en ce moment mais il y a eu une éclaircie en fin de journée le 1er janvier ce qui nous a valu ce beau …
