Battle_of_Castillon - France

[BillN_33]

End of the 100 years war - basically when we, (The English), were kicked out of Aquitaine and lost all our territories in France, 1453

we have been taking it back, house by house and field by field ever since

Big celebrations every year in Castillon-la-Bataille

Nikon 105mm f2.8 VR macro is a good "walk about" lens

I do like old plaques like this.

I like the angle, showing the detail on the LHS of the column and casting the RHS in shadow. I'd rather the BG wasn't included.

Cheers.
