Encore colours of autumn at Poitiers

Flashback to autumn 2005...kinda nolstagic and distanced now that spring is in the air in the Northern hemisphere and us here in the tropics: evening showers and mid day heat throughout the year...

Nevertherless, digging into my picture archive is always a pleasure and a rediscovery...

Staircase up the centre ville of Poitiers in the evening autumn sun...


Street light


Lichen in two colours under the evening glare...


A fallen leaf of a vigne


Signboard in the colour of autumn...


Nice building belonging to the city hall...


Chrysanthemum is a main staple of autumn flower beds in France of late (ahem...back then)


an old church in Rue Gambetta, Eglise saint Porchaire


The legend of Poitou


It was the theme of teddies for autumn...








Bounties of autumn: cèpes mushrooms


even bigger ones...


oursins, or sea urchins


Christmas tree at the entrance of the shopping mall in town center


Nice Coquilles Saint Jacques, or scallops


It was cold enough to have open skating ring in the town square


Calm and symetry outside the university residence


Musicians outside the Eglise Notre Dame-la-Grande in market square


First frosts
