Les Plus Beaux Villages de France – One of the most Beautiful Villages of France
Siège d’une ancienne baronnie, ANGLES-SUR-L’ANGLIN présente un patrimoine exceptionnel (site préhistorique du Roc aux Sorciers, château et bourg médiévaux, broderies à jours d’Angles…) qui lui a permis d’adhérer à l’association « LES PLUS BEAUX VILLAGES DE FRANCE ».
LE CHÂTEAU
o O La forteresse fut construite en 1025 par Gilbert Évêque de Poitiers, dressée sur un éperon rocheux, elle domine de 48m la vallée de l’ANGLIN, le pont et la Ville-Basse, fief de l’abbaye Sainte-Croix.
o O Remaniée aux XIIème et Xvème siècles, ellefut un point stratégique au carrefouir de 3 régions : le Poitou, le Berry et la Touraine.
Elledevient propriété des évêques de Poitiers.
Elle fait partie d’une enceinte de places fortes qui entourent l’évêché de Poitiers.
Sa position stratégiqu esur la falaise la rend presque imprenable.
o O Toutefois, la guerre de Cent ans lui fera subir d’importants dommages, mais elle sera restaurée sous l’épiscopat d’Hugues de Combarel, qui apposera ses armes sur tous les murs, puis par Guillaume de Charpagne.
o O Aux alentours de la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale, par mesure de sécurité, on consolide ce qui reste de l’édifice afin de conserver un témoignage essentiel du passé d’Angles.
o O En 1986, il devient bien communal.
o O En 2016, un partenariat est trouvé entre la commune d’Angles-sur-l’Anglin et la société d’exploitation touristique DELTOUR afin d’aménager, valoriser et faire découvrir ce lieu exceptionnel.

For those wanting to know what the plaque reads...'One of the greatest achievements in Australia's telecommunications history, was the Overland Telegraph Line which crossed the continent from Adelaide to Darwin. Built between 1870-1872 the southern portion veered at this point in a northerly direction towards Alice Springs. This plaque and monument depicting the angle pole used extensively in the district, stands in recognition of a great achievement won through hardship and endurance. Telecom Australia'
Two image stitch to get the wider view captured hand held with the 24mm lens. End of the day light over the inlet area of Ocean City, Maryland.
Liked how the pier and dock make an 'angle', and they point to the "Angler".

When you take a photograph and post it on the internet you are presenting your personal vision, your own way of seeing the world. Everyone's perception is different, sometimes by a few degrees, but at times it can be the polar opposite. I suppose in this way, art mimics life and becomes relevant.
We all have our own angles of vision when looking at the world, be it through a camera lens or the distorted cacophony of the millions of voices on the internet, all claiming to be right and knowing the answers, while damning anybody who argues with them with vitriolic abuse.
We all see things differently but perhaps remembering we are all human and not faceless avatars would make the internet a far better place. A little kindness and understanding wouldn't hurt too much would it?
Suppose I should do some work now ;-)

It is the end of August in the Berchtesgaden National Park and the peaks are already covered with snow! The morning sunlight at Hintersee was accompanied with fog. A lonely morning angler drifts into the shot and fits perfectly. It is a truly magical place and a pleasure to visit every time.
