two birds...

speaking of stones, my desire for a black coat and a new tweed are now satisfied. thanks dad (and it's so warm, i ventured out in the snow and was toasty!)

a little shrine

stones from travels : large slate and smaller red stone (on top) - andy goldsworthy in scotland; large rock with red paint (below left) - garden of cosmic speculation; chunk of concrete - la tourette; and a pebble from maison la roche.

maison la roche

only a few photos.

depressingly, the film in the M6 wasn't wound on...

and i was running very low on digital space...

and i lent dad my spare memory card.


needless to say, i'm going back.

mulhouse has a car museum

the schlumpf collection.

many beautiful bugattis.

and relevant in the corbusian theme, in a 'vers une architecture' kind of way.




best thing there.

belfort has a big lion


effing huge mate.

notre dame du haut

up early on sunday, out on the treacherous roads.


the climb up the hill/mountain was kind of terrifying.

hello.













one day i'll be brilliant like the sun too.



then it really snowed

not entirely sure what happened here but we were stuck and in desperate need of the toilet. not ideal.



pit stop

la tourette

in the snow.




love those light cannons.


the monastery is having some work done so dad and i wandered the perimeter trying to catch a glimpse of the interior.

leaving lyon in the toot (our car).
