A nostalgic trip to the archives…my first thought for the images to use in this post was Romania, and also Provence several decades ago
So here is Les Baux in the late 1980s, very sleepy then, I believe less so now
…early morning in Tarascon:
Tarascon, 7 am, off to the bakers
…and here is an image of Provençal countryside
And now we’ll head off to the rural landscape of Romania, seen just over a decade ago
Locals in Viskri
Every evening, the cows return home in Miklosaure, as they have done for years and years:
Cows coming home in the evening
Hope you have enjoyed these images

These are great photos that you took in late 1980s. The image of Provence is like a beautiful painting. Cows coming home is a cool capture! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, Amy! Those cows knew their own way home, and would go straight to their own owners yard! It was something to see….
These are wonderful Sue – now I know where the phrase “wait till the cows come home” comes from!
It would seem so! It was quite a sight
Your Provencal countryside looks like an impressionist painting! Nice one, Sue.
Best wishes, Pete.
And that image was taken on slide film, and scanned
Wonderful collection of towns Sue. Great post 😀
Thank you, Brian!
Wonderful to share your nostalgia, Sue.
Oh, glad you think so, Sylvia!
Beautiful small town, Sue..
Two little towns!
So perfect, it looks like a painting!
😊😊
Wonderful, Sue! Oh the cows! And that lovely shot in the field with the horses and waggon! ♥
We went out each evening to see the cows come home! And the horse and cart in the field is one of my favourite images for a sense of place
Sits like cotton wool around your heart, doesn’t it? That is our Swedish expression for the feeling.
What a great expression, A C!
What do you say in English?
Heartwarming?
Beautiful photos. Bet the 80’s buildings are the same, at least!
Thanks, John😊😊
