Fly blown - Chemin de Stevenson-2018-D2-30
by Andrew Priest, on Flickr

Cows resting in the late afternoon heat, the heat really kicked in around 3:00 PM so I don't blame these cows for taking a nanna nap. Unfortunately, we couldn't join them, with our climb to Preyssac and then our destination for the day, Le Bouchet-Saint-Nicolas still to be completed. Our accommodation at Le Bouchet-Saint-Nicolas got a little worried about us as we didn't arrive till after 7:00 PM. They thought we had got lost!

Day 2 of 12 - Le Monastier-sur-Gazeille to Le Bouchet-Saint-Nicolas: Walking the Chemin de Stevenson (GR 70 Robert Louis Stevenson Trail) in the south of France.

The fence and the wall - Le Bouchet-Saint-Nicolas - Chemin de Stevenson-2018-D3-03

For a while heading out of Le Bouchet-Saint-Nicolas the Chemin de Stevenson [GR70] took us through farmlands. This fence and wall caught my eye as we wondered pass. A combination of old and new approaches to stock management.

I stumbled into this cornfield the other day after exploring a nearby frozen river bed. I was seeking frosted trees to photograph, but I decided not to make the trek to the far end of the field - it would have been quite a slog through the deep snow.
