Pretty Peeling Paint and Beautiful Buildings

France is full of beautiful buildings and one thing that makes them stand out is their gorgeously coloured shutters, bricks and shapes.

I adore snapping the beauty of the towns and the simple things such as roof tops and shutters!

Someone tell me I am not the only one to be found snapping such simple every day objects!

Black & White Photo Project Week 5

On Friday we visited the beautiful and stunning Reims, this was taken in the Cathedral, a wonderful example of how people can work together to build something destroyed by war. It was almost destroyed in WW1 and was rebuilt as a memorial to show the strength of the people in the face of the enemy. I spotted the candles burning next to the Virgin Mary and knew it would make a beautiful photo.

Finding Art & Beauty in Soissons

I didn't want to be blogging whilst on holiday but some of the sites we have seen are so beautiful and worth blogging about whilst still fresh in my mind.

So on a rather miserable and rainy Wednesday we did what any British family would do and head out in the rain!

First Soissons Cathedral, a beautiful place which my short zoom lens just didn't do justice.

A rather apt plaque to the dead of the British Empire who's bodies lay in France, a really lovely tribute and perfect for the anniversary of WW1.

I just had to snap this rather intriguing picture on show of the baby Jesus being breastfed, as a world that continues to judge women and their choices I thought this was rather beautiful. 

And finally onto the old Arsenal, an armoury now turned into a museum currently housing some great art, these are just a few of my favourites.
