Submerged

Seaweed now covers half of the lower cromle'ch.

Cromle'ch
Cromle'ch

The Gavrinis complex consists now of two islands. The rising sea levels have seen to that. The second island features two stone circles or cromle'ch. (...)

Gavrinis & Cromle'ch
Gavrinis & Cromle'ch

A compressed view of the cairn and the cromle'ch, as it might have appeared some 5000 years ago.

Island Cross
Island Cross

It was not surprising to find, near a centre of Neolithic power, a somewhat defiant symbol of the new religion. We have forgotten the impact of the cr (...)

Oréal Estate
Oréal Estate

This estate belongs to the family that runs the Oréal cosmetic empire.

Layers
Layers

I liked the layers in this scene. First, the sunlight on the water, then the oyster beds in silhouette. More water, dark land and a banded sky.

Ile-Aux-Moines
Ile-Aux-Moines

With the Sun muscling away the clouds, we began our approach to the Ile-Aux_Moines. This is a long, cross-shaped island with a beautiful beach.

Ile-Aux-Moines

This island is also covered with menhir, dolmen, cromle'ch and other megalithic structures. Permanent occupancy of the island only began 1000 years ag (...)

Fishing Couple
Fishing Couple

A perfect retirement - out fishing with the wife, with a picnic basket and a couple of bottles of cider cooling over the side.

Lovely House
Lovely House

Oh my, I thought. It is the perfect house - isolated, well-built, trees in back, sea in front - what is not to like? The boat rounded the point the ho (...)

Vieux Forban
Vieux Forban

This is is a forban, folks. What a lucky day to pass one of these rare ships. The forban was a type of ship, 13 meters long. It had no deck, two masts (...)

Forban Le Bono
Forban Le Bono

A profile view of the forban of Le Bono. It was great to see this beautifully restored boat.

On Approach
On Approach

We are now on approach to the commercial port of the island. A ferry connects islanders to the mainland.

Port Pot
Port Pot

This colourful pot greeted us with bright beauty when we got off the boat. We had a two hour lay-over before the return cruise left. If we missed the (...)

Hillside Villa
Hillside Villa

One of the villas bordering the port. I couldn't get over the lushness of the vegetation here.

Street Walkers
Street Walkers

Walking along the port street, trying to decide in which restaurant to have lunch, and whether we should shop first, eat and then visit the town. Shee (...)

Inside Charlemagne
Inside Charlemagne

I liked the nautical theme of the well-apointed interior of this bistro. Note the timepiece. It shows the date, current time, low tide time (BM - bass (...)

Bistro Benches
Bistro Benches

You also had your choices of benches - Neolithic, Nouveau Breton or Roman.

Dead Rowboat
Dead Rowboat

I found this dead rowboat on the side of the road. My question is this: Why is it still tied down?

Hidden Alley
Hidden Alley

Not far from the bistro, this hidden lane branched off from the road. I was sorely tempted to follow it. It began to dawn on me that a three week holi (...)
