If you are not French, it’s likely you haven’t ever heard the word “Saintonge”, and have no clue what it means. If you are French, it’s probably the same thing. Unless, that is, you are a fan of Romanesque, in which case you know that Saintonge, that small region of France centered around the town of Saintes (hence the name), not far from the Atlantic Ocean, just North of Bordeaux... features the highest density of Romanesque churches of all the country!
I had never visited that area of France, and so in the middle of October 2021, I took that long overdue trip and stayed two weeks in Saintes, driving left and right daily to photograph all the most significant Romanesque churches... and unfortunately leaving out many others, as they are so thick on the ground!
The church that we examine today is dedicated to saint Pierre-ès-Liens (Saint Peter-in-Chains) and is located in the village of Thaims.
There are several reasons why this church is truly unique and stands out among all those other Saintonge Romanesque churches.
The first reason is that it has doors on almost all sides: there is one on each arm of the transept, and if we can admit that the door at the end of the northern arm is a porte des morts leading into the cemetery (as we saw yesterday in Corme–Écluse), the one leading out of the southern transept arm is a lot more curious, especially since it is significantly decorated —as far as decorations go on this very simple church. I would have leaned towards a door opening onto a cloister if this church had, at any point in time, been an abbey or priory church, but there is absolutely zilch historical evidence of that.
Neither is there any mention of relics that would have been the subject of a pilgrimage, with the need to organize the flow of pilgrims entering through one door and exiting via another and besides, there is no ambulatory inside the church, whose floor plan remains very simple, even though it is in the shape of a Latin cross, which is rather unusual in Saintonge, as we have seen repeatedly.
The second reason is that it features a nicely rounded apse, also unusual in Saintonge where three-sided or five-sided apses are the norm. Note that the apse collapsed in the 20th century and had to be rebuilt, but that was done using the same stones whenever possible, and the job was very nicely done, and is virtually undetectable.
The third reason, and the most significant, is that this church is about the only one in the whole region that was built over a Roman villa, and a large and tall one, with big parts of it still showing, as you will see in some of the photos. The church itself is older than most of its Saintonge sisters, having been built, for the most part, during the 1000s.
The most interesting view of the church: all of the bell tower, up to the blind arcatures below the octagonal top part, was built during the Antiquity and was part of the villa I mentioned above.
So was part of the transept. Everything that is made up of smaller apparel is Roman, including the large arch to the right.
Beholding this ancient structure is amazing and quite emotional.
This is a composite photograph made up of two exposures stitched together in PTGui. There was not enough space for me to move back to include the whole building in the frame, even with the wide-angle 19mm tilt-shift lens.

Just above the dropoff (previous photo), the walls of Puppet Draw show abrupt changes in flow direction of the sand between bedding planes.
Vertical faults through the sandstone show at least a dozen such bedding planes. Each sequence indicates different circumstances of flow, direction and sometimes mineralogy.
See next photo for wider angle view from this spot.
This is a partial façade of the Kaleidoscope, a building in London. I like its interplay of structure, light, and reflection. The building becomes a silent theater, where geometric precision meets fleeting moments - birds in flight, fragments of sky, and shifting shadows. Each perspective angle reveals something new: the left is quiet with reflection and migrating birds and step-by-step to the right the intensity changes into a more intense colourful rhythmic palette. It’s a meditation on how perception shapes reality, inviting us to find beauty in transformation and the ever-changing world around us.

Experiment in tilt-shift effect on the picture of a car on fire in Brussels, for a blogpost at houbi.com/?p=623.
This was when bystanders and a police patrol that was in the neighbourhood tried to put out the fire. They only had a little bit of success when they pulled out the firehose from my office building onto the street. But the fire kept coming back. Then the firemen arrived.
The orginal picture (made with an Iphone btw) is this one.
The steps are as in this tutorial.
Being free to work in a simple shift dress is a wonderful treat! Most of all when it's such a beautiful fit.

Does it seem a tilt-shift???
This morning when I walked into the living room a beam of light was shining on my painting Shift in an otherwise dimly lit space. A lovely moment as I finish a new painting of Temma's hand for the group exhibition opening this Friday from 5 to 8 pm Hofheimer Gallery in Chicago. Hope to see you there!

One single vertical shift image, 30 seconds. The city spread much of the winter wonderland area around this year, which was very welcome - but because of the sheer numbers of people, the north side (near the rides and the stalls nearest the museum) is still completely rammed and a very unpleasant place to be.
Unless you love crowds, I guess.
