Maquis

Maquis Monument at Livet
I've passed this monument to the local Maquis or french resistance heroes from WW2 many times. However
last week was the first time I've managed to stop to take a look and photograph it. It stands by the side of
the road just outside Livet near to Grenoble. I always find this sort of thing particularly moving as so many
gave their lives during the war.

French Alps

Les Deux Alpes
I spent last weekend in Les Deux Alpes in the french alps. I know the place
well but had only been for skiing in the winter before. Although the weather
was not great for most of the time I did at least get to see the alps in the
late summer sun on the sunday.

Naaaaatalie

Naaaatalie
One night on holiday this summer, sitting outside a bar by Nauzan Beach after dark, I was messing
around with the camera experimenting. I quite like this one of my daughter.

Burwell, St Mary's

Burwell
My grandparent's were married here in 1926, my parent's in 1957. Many of my relatives are buried in the
churchyard (and the village cemetery also). My great grandparents and my grandparents lived directly
opposite the church for around 90 years and I've still got relatives in the village.
