Country Driveway — Photo 74 — Project 365
Half an hour from our home on the coast, I found a château with this
driveway. Where do I get one?! :)

Stained Glass — Photo 73 — Project 365
Catholic churches are everywhere in France. After seeing several dozen, I
started to feel like I’d seen most of what there was to see. And then I would
wander into some random church and discover another gem. In many of the
churches, the stained glass was exquisite. Sometimes I could read the story in
the windows and other times I just wondered who all the saints could be. This
is a window I quite liked; I enjoyed how it depicted Jesus Christ, the “Lamb of God.”

Online Dating from Hell (or Modern Job Hunting)
Several months ago I was in France and realized I would need to get a
job upon my return to North America. In today’s interconnected world, I
thought doing my job search through the Internet would be the way to do
it. It turned out to be both brilliant and brutal, all at the same time.

Stone House on a Hill — Photo 71 — Project 365
Part of the image of Europe gets built around the old things, including
the old stone homes from the days before 2x4 (lumber, wood-frame)
construction. This home is at Mont Saint Michel, a rock on the Normandy
coast that has had an abbey at the top of it for over 1000 years and a
village built in stone under it for almost as long. As a side, Mt St
Michel is one of my favourite places to visit in France.

Country Driveway — Photo 70 — Project 365
Still in the Land of the Celts (Brittany, France), I came across this
beautiful country driveway. I think it caught my eye because even though
there was no snow and the green leaves were gone, the scene was still beautiful.

Celtic Cross — Photo 69 — Project 365
Touring after Christmas, we travelled to the Land of the Celts in
Brittany, France. I found this stone cross on the top of a fence. The
cross, the vines, and the stone seems to fit the image of the Celts in
my mind too well to pass it by.
Candle Light — Photo 68 - Project 365
Just after Christmas, I went exploring in northern France. One of my
many stops was the iconic cathedral in Chartres, a little out of Paris.
Candles are lit by many of the patrons and pilgrims, as a sort of
prayer, as I understand it. But the light of the candles in the dark
cathedral made for a beautiful picture.

Lego Christmas Tree — Photo 67 — Project 365
LEGO is one of those things that bring back wondrous memories of
childhood. But LEGO is something that didn’t leave its wonder behind
when I left childhood. So when my Honey got me a LEGO advent calendar
for Christmas, I was delighted. This ended up being our Christmas tree
in Paris!

Snow at the Train Station — Photo 66 — Project 365
Well the snow kept coming. This day we were in Rouen, waiting for the
train, as the snow fell softly in the train station. Setting the
exposure just right, I could freeze the snow mid-flight!
