(2005-12-22) | One of my favourite pictures from my 6 months stonehunting in France. And we all love these pictures with the local wildlife in, dont we.
This is my Solstice / Christmas / New Year / Yuletide offering to you all, with my best wishes.

(2005-12-22) | Excellent Photo {and the others}! There were no cattle there on the 31st July '05, when I was up there. Wish I could get up there now in the snow, but it would probably take more than just chains on the car.... | mickm
