Yesterday I posted a few pictures from Peyre in the south of France showing the steep and narrow streets. However they didn't really give a good sense of how closely the houses hugged the cliff side so I hope that today's pictures put that right.
I like the colour of the stone work which in spite of the overcast sky still seemed warm, even in the semi derelict building in the first picture. I also like the way that even with limited space all the houses seem to be positioned to get a good view along the valley.
Tomorrow I have a few more pictures from the village so if you like these please look out for tomorrow's blog.
My selection for day two of small things is this pot of pencils.
Not long after we moved into the house my neighbour gave me a triangular pot of pencils which are wrapped in a decorative paper. I have never wanted to use the pencils because as a whole they are really aesthetically pleasing but if I were to use any of them it would lose much of its' appeal. It is in a way a practical example of the Gestalt theory "The whole is other than the sum of the parts"
I tried these pictures in black and white but in doing so lost all the warmth of the wood and paper so stuck with the original colour shots.
I hope you like these pictures and that you will come back tomorrow for the next installment...
