Lou Couraus Cromlechs, high up in the Pyrenees.
Still used to this day, 4500 years on, as a cattle scratching place.

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.

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....

They move the cattle up the meadows in stages as plant growth permits (transhumance). The lower meadows are then left to grow to provide fodder for the winter. Nice card - hope you sent a special dedication to Hamish.

This one was only a baby ! Some of the larger ones were quite intimidating - with massive horns !

Almost expect to see Julie Andrews pop up over the hillside!! He IS absolutely gorgeous - enough to make an beef lover vegetarian! And you're a star for all your hard work in France. Thankyou for cheering us up with your sunny pics, and have a great Christmas, etc, yourself!
