Designer Château

Last weekend while we were staying in the Lot, we were invited for drinks and a swim at the "Designer Château". It's owned by an architect and an interior designer who have done an amazing restoration job.

This is a photo from the side capturing the château and the infinity pool.


A close up of the infinity pool. On the left side the water flows over the edge creating a small waterfall.


Looking out over the edge, there is a wonderful view of the countryside


Here's the château seen in the pool reflection


And a front view of the château

Albi - St Cécile

These are a couple of photos I took in Albi, the main city of the Tarn. It's about an hour's drive from Castres, where I live.
Le Pont vieux.


This is what you see from Le Pont Vieux (the old bridge)


Here's the Albi Cathedrale: St Cécile


A self portrait of the Painter Henri Toulouse-Lautrec. There's a whole museum about him and his paintings next to the cathedrale.


The cathedrale seen from a different point of view.

Here's a poster... selling CD's (it's in french because the concert was in France)



And finally, a background made using brushes in photoshop this time.
