Having majored in Geography, lo those many years ago, I concur with Ann.

so when confronted by large lumps of it I naturally think of ann.

Thanks ann. I thought about you and your geological past while I was over
there...
Bob, you really don't mean it; do you?

.Thanks ann. I thought about you and your geological past while I was over
there. The twisting and folding of the very stratified limestone rocks is very
spectacular indeed. I'm no geologist, so I could be very wrong, but I always
thought the Alps were the fault of Italy crashing into France, and the
mountains of eastern America the result of Africa colliding with America, which
would make them much older than the Alps. I think also that Scotland used to be
part of America, gained its independence and floated gently into union with
Britain.
The river with the waterfall is the Lance, which I think is a tributary of the
Verdon. The Verdon has cut the deep gorges, which are the longest and I think
deepest in Europe. I've heard that they are also the longest and deepest in the
world after the Grand Canyon, but I'm not convinced of that as I've been in the
Blue Nile Gorge in Ethiopia and that seems deeper to me.
Bizarrely given its spectacular size and dramatic nature the gorge was not
really known outside the local area until 1905 - an indication of how
unexplored parts of France were until relatively recently.

Very nice stuff.. Like Rick I like too many to start reeling them off. I
wasstruck, however , by the similarity of the scenes that
had no structures with the look of upstate New York...but then I remembered
that quite a few years ago the east coast of North America was
tornaway from the west coast of Europe - and them's the same damn mountains, in
a way.
Aside from that - you need more pictures of dogs

Excellent and very atmospheric gallery, Bob. Too many favorites to list,
especially since they're not titled or numbered!
Thanks! Meh, who needs 'em?
I agree with Cotty that the dog got more photographic attention than he
probably deserved, though.
You're right, but it has a lot of character, for a dog. It has ideas above its
station; it likes to stand on the edge of precipices and look noble, as if it
were something grander than a pimped-up rat-catcher.
I've spent most of this week in France with one of my brothers and his wife
at their holiday home. Here are some very touristy photos:

Hope you enjoy.
