I'm still having a lot of trouble with our flaky internet connection, but I'll try to post these today. One afternoon earlier this week, we were driving through a village called Benet (pop. 3,600), near Niort, and we stopped so that I could take some pictures around the church. A school bus (no, not a yellow one) was waiting next to the church, and I realized that the school in a nearby building was just letting out.
Here are the students walking to the bus. You can see what a beautiful day it was, with a deep blue sky. I walked all the way around the church taking photos, and I noticed a very big stained-glass window in one wall. So I went into the church to see what I looked like. Here it is:
I'm posting these photos at a very large size and I've divided each one in half so that each half can be viewed at full size when you click on it. I wish I could figure out how to do away with the black horizontal line that runs through the two halves of the photos (I tried to disguise it on the second image), but my HTML skills are not that good. Okay, here goes. I don't even know if this lame internet connection will let me upload the post.
P.S. You might have noticed that I misidentified the town where this church is located when I posted these photos yesterday. So many villages, so little time. I have corrected the post.

Very impressive..., Ken. I could enlarge and enjoyed all the details.
ReplyDeleteWow, I didn't even notice the black line until I read your line about it. Beautiful window, great photos.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to Jesus? Was he tomorrow's post?
ReplyDeleteThe Romans tortured and executed him. My preview post was an accident, and I didn't have a plan for posting it. I just wanted to see what the photo would look like. Hey, if I can't make a mistake now and then, this blogging thing is turning into something that resembles work. It shouldn't be work, but a hobby. Don't you have anything better to do? Or do I have to resign?
DeleteNo. It will be better for your readers if it is I who resign!
DeleteNo, don't resign, and I won't either. I'm sure we are entertaining to the other readers of the blog. I haven't yet decided what to post tomorrow. But with our intermittent internet connection, maybe I should post (or schedule) something now rather than waiting until tomorrow morning. Mieux vaut tôt que jamais...
DeleteLove the revamping of this old proverb!
DeleteI was so enjoying your nice pictures that I didn't even see the black lines until I read that part of the commentary. That's a fabulous window.
