Takarékos, féloldalas székek egy kocsma előtt... / Very practical half-chairs in front of a bar on the street...
Óbidos, a seemingly untouched medieval walled city in Portugal. This was my first stop on my way North on Saturday. I parked the car in a paying lot, then walked all the way to the other end of the city, climbed the wall and came back on the city walls. Great little town, just a bit touristic, but unforgetable...
Óbidos, egy láthatóan szinte érintetlen középkori, fallal övezett város Portugáliában. Ez volt az első megállóm, mikor szombaton délután északnak indultam. Az autót egy fizetős parkolóban hagytam, majd végigsétáltam a városon az egyik irányban, ott felmentem a városfalra és azon jöttem vissza. Fantasztikus kisváros, kissé talán túlságosan is túristáknak szól, de mindenképp felejthetetlen élmény...

A short practical course at City Lit. on the techniques required to achieve effective architectural photographs.
"Created in 1766, by the Central School of the Department of the Channel for its practical courses, it was in 1799, that the first plantations make of this space a garden. In the first half of the nineteenth century, the camellias, rose bush, hydrangea, magnolias and La Malmaison were introduced into the garden. The first rhododendrons were imported from the island of Java. The garden becomes the place of inspiration for writers as talented as Guy de Maupassant, Victor Hugo or Paul Féval. It was at the end of the nineteenth century and at the beginning of the twentieth century that it became a veritable garden of plants: plantations of shrubs, lawns and flower beds. Later, in May 1944, the site was classified. Today, the garden of plants of Avranches is a true invitation to the discovery of the botanical heritage with its superb masses in mosaiculture, and its remarkable trees, among which a Giant Sequoia, a Cephalotaxus of Ireland, a tree "despair of the monkeys ", a ginko biloba or a cedar of the Himalayas. The visitor will also be able to discover one of the great treasures of this garden: a unique and enchanting view on the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel."

"Avranches is a commune in the Manche department in the Normandy region in northwestern France. It is a subprefecture of the department. The inhabitants are called Avranchinais.
By the end of the Roman period, the settlement of Ingena, capital of the Abrincatui tribe, had taken the name of the tribe itself. This was the origin of the name Avranches. In 511 the town became the seat of a bishopric and subsequently of a major Romanesque cathedral dedicated to Saint Andrew which was dismantled during the French revolutionary period. As the region of Brittany emerged from the Roman region of Armorica, Avranchin was briefly held by Alan I, King of Brittany as part of the Kingdom of Brittany at the turn of the 10th century. The regions that later became the Duchies of Normandy and Brittany each experienced devastating Viking raids, with Brittany occupied by Vikings from 907 to 937. In 933 Avranches and its territory, the Avranchin, were ceded to the Normans.
In 1172 (September 27–28) a council was held at Avranches in response to the murder of Anglo-Norman Saint Thomas Becket. Henry II, King of England, after due penance done at Avranches on 21 May 1172, was absolved from the censures incurred by the assassination of the holy prelate and reached the Compromise of Avranches with the Church, swearing fidelity to Pope Alexander III in the person of the papal legate.
The town was damaged in both the Hundred Years' War and the Wars of Religion .Álvaro Vaz de Almada was made 1st Count of Avranches by King Henry VI of England on August 8, 1444.
A literal description of the town in the 19th century is recorded in Guy de Maupassant's novel Notre Cœur, when the main character Mariolle meets his lover and sets up for Mont Saint-Michel:
The houses crowning the heights gave to the place from a distance the appearance of a fortification. Seen close at hand, it was an ancient and pretty Norman city, with small dwellings of regular and almost similar appearance built closely adjoining one another, giving an aspect of ancient pride and modern comfort, a feudal yet peasant-like air.
The liberation of Avranches during World War II was led by General George S. Patton and began on 31 July 1944.
A museum houses the collection of manuscripts of Mont Saint-Michel, deposited in the municipal archives during the French Revolution. It is one of the largest collections of medieval illuminated manuscripts in France, outside national and university libraries.
Formerly dominated by the cathedral, where Henry II did penance, an open grassed area La Plate-Forme overlooking the bay towards Mont Saint-Michel displays only a few remnants of the destroyed building.
The major church Notre Dame des Champs was constructed in Gothic Revival style in the 19th century to restore the religious life of the town after the destruction of the cathedral.
The botanical gardens were founded in the grounds of the former Franciscan convent in the late 18th century. The expansion and introduction of exotic species in the 19th century and the location of the gardens overlooking the bay made the gardens an important sight in the town."

Great amount of cloud today after the rain,found a new field with trees in it .
THINGS TO REMEMBER 1ST When you climb up the bank to climb through the hedge make sure you notice where you climbed through otherwise you will spend 10 minutes trying to find it .2ND make sure your camera bag pockets are done up otherwise you will spend 20 minutes trying to find your yellow/brown filter case that also has 2 memory cards in it that has fallen out somewhere.3RD When you've climbed up the 6foot bank from the road to get into the field make sure you think how your going to get out and that you don't just fall 5 foot into a country lane and startle a poor lady driver by "Just appearing".Dangerous business this photography!!!!!
i convinced my mum that my camera was voice activated and stood behind her with a remote lolol. she kept saying things like "mr nikon, you are an amazing machine!" and marveling when the shutter clicked.
"how did you figure it out?"
"i was just sitting alone in my room one day, stroking the camera and crooning sweet nothings to it..."
"that's amazing."
