French countryside shots
This afternoon, my mother sent me to the "déchèterie" (which is a kind of 'waste collection site') to sort out the paper from the metal and glass into different boxes. I love doing that........ Anyway, the collection site is outside of the village so I had to take the small back ways to get there.
This is a Celtic cross, at a site where resistance fighters have been killed by the Germans during the second World War. Trees are bare, all the leaves fell down in November and everything look bleak now. It's still very cold (-4° this morning and 4° this afternoon) but we haven't seen snow at all... Never mind...
You can see Christian crosses a little everywhere around Brittany. We were pagan before and the republic made a lot of efforts to christianize us. They succeeded and Brittany is now the last really Christian region in France.
Off the main road, you have tons of dirt tracks going in huge lands, mainly farms. A lot of rocks where you had walls before. Dead leaves everywhere... Winter landscape...
