Dolmen, Pierre Folle, St. Priest la Feuille, Creuse, France.

Distant view of the mysterious dolmen.
The Dolmen, St.Priest la Feuille France,  is set in the magnificent Creuse countryside with Limousin cattle grazing nearby. The dolmen sends a strong shadow and the top stone rests on  only 3 stones. Probably a tomb, it stands on a hill with a standing stone nearby. The supporting standing stones may have moved over the many years and a front stone is broken. It is magnificent, particularly from a distance.

Gaspar and Gontrond, the Yorkshire miniature terriers go on the offensive! and a small gothic house in France.

The miniature Yorkshire terriers Gaspar and Gontrond spy out the next door garden where a large Pyrenean  mountain dog stares back at them, through the fence!

A wonderful little gothic house in France, - probably belonging originally to the priest.

An ancient French barn........ etc!

A magnificent French 17th - 18th century barn photographed in the Indres Department yesterday. The incongruously placed  plastic pipes add a touch of colour, but speak volumes about the age in which we live?!
