Refuge for the Dead



A refuge for the dead: mausoleum in the Provence, in the south of France. There is no sound, but the sound of the wind.

The Beauty of Berre-l'Étang



She captured my attention while visiting a small cemetery in the Provence, in the south of France. Affected by air pollution, she seemed to regret her own appearance more than the passing of the departed whose tomb she guarded. Yet, to me she was the undisputed beauty queen of the cemetery, and even far beyond that. Hence I christened her "The Beauty of Berre-l'Étang"


Guilty pleasures


Enjoying a Sunday afternoon coffee with some artisan chocolates to go with it, while dreaming away in a book on my new passion: miniatures!
