Hidden Gem

Just out out of Piacenza in northern Italy we camped in an abandoned farmhouse for the night. We did some exploring, pulling back the door to the barn we came across an old Opel car. It had seen better days, the exterior was weathered and become home to a community of pigeons. The interior and engine bay however were in immaculate condition. From what we could figure out from the registration papers the car had been sitting in this barn for about 20 years. I think with a little elbow grease the car would have started.

Lyon Store

Exploring the historic quarters of Lyon I came across this small shop. It had everything I needed, stuff to make a yummy baguette and a six pack of beer to wash it down with. Pity it was all miniature scale, one of those beer bottles would be smaller than my little fingernail. Actually, I probably wouldn’t even fit my head into this shop.

Lyon Fountain

Lyon’s world heritage listed historic quarter is packed full of character. Ancient alleys link the cobble stoned streets which are lined with beautiful 12th century buildings. A number of small cathedrals and town squares are scattered amongst it all. There is detail in every little corner of this place. This sculpture was on the fountain infront of the main cathedral as you enter the district, I was drawn to it and had to capture the detail.
