Janvier 2004 (5)

These are six pictures of the Cher River at flood stage in the Saint-Aignan area. I took them all with a Kodak DC4800 digital camera that I had bought a couple of years earlier. We were spending our first winter in Saint-Aignan and were impressed to see the sleepy Cher suddenly come to life.



PS: Yesterday I spent several hours working on my old laptop to see if the screen flicker would come back. It didn't, at least not until this morning. I finally had to turn it off in the middle of composing this blog post and start up the new laptop, which I'm glad I bought.

  4. That is so strange about the laptop screen. Maybe it was a brief power surge or power flicker.

  5. Comme a dit Patrice de Mac Mahon à Toulouse: Que d’eau, que d’eau!

    1. Et encore, Monsieur le Président, répond le préfet de la Haute-Garonne, vous n’en voyez que le dessus. Les bons mots de l’histoire de France!

    2. Dès le berceau je connaissais “J’y suis, j’y reste!” et “Que d’eau, que d’eau!”

    3. Of course I had to do a search for Patrice de Mac Mahon - I'd never heard of him. What a fascinating background the family had.

      As far as I know, there are at least two other château de Sully. One in Loiret and the other in Calvados.
