A visit to Saint-Pons-de-Thomières … a small, busy town in the Herault area of southern France. It’s Abbey was founded in 936 so there’s lots of history and it’s where you will also find the source of the river Jaur.
Really enjoyed walking around the old city of Beziers, loads of history, great architecture and lots of shops. The Cathedral and Pont Vieux A street in the Old Town
Feeling fed up with all the BREXIT chat, I wanted something to lighten my mood and brighten my day… and I found these. Hope you like them too.
On our visit to India, we stopped at the Dhobi Ghat laundry in Mumbai. These photos give you an idea of how big the place is and the amount of laundry processed there each and every day. The men who carry out the washing live in the huts you can see covered with corregated panels, […]
The weather has been glorious these past nine days, really didn’t expect it at this time of year. Nîmes was quieter than on our last visit but the amphitheatre still draws the visitors. The couple in front of us in the queue were from Indiana, the people behind us, from Toronto. At 2000 years old, […]

Thank you. I love the shape of the building and had tried to get a few shots of it just on its own, but failed. Then as we walked away I turned and took this one, not exactly ‘alone’ but got a better idea of the shape.

For a minute there, I thought it was a shot of the flatiron building in New York. This photo looks very much like a New York scene.

You are right, but I was told on my first visit that is was called the Gridiron, maybe it is know by both names, perhaps some kind New Yorker could set the record straight/
Whatever it is called it is unique and quite amazing, bit like New York itself. 🙂

I love it when buildings are shaped for a small slice of land like in your first photo. But that particular building looks like someone could blow it over. Lots of great windows.
