Lost in France : Sails of the Massif | 20 comments (20 topical, 0 editorial, 0 hidden)

Sorry, duty camera-person InWales was in Wales. I myself have no eye for photos and have given up carrying a camera as I junk everything I take.

There are plenty of wonderful photos on the net.

Re: A good eye for sound (none / 1)

Thats okay, I usually take a camera with me but then forget to take pictures and if I take them they can not compare with In Wales et al.

We came up from the south via Millau bridge, and I like to take my own photos:

By the way, there's a great Top Gear programme about the three presenters driving supercars from London to the Millau bridge (and delighting in causing traffic chaos in Paris).

Try London for real traffic chaos andhigh levels of aggression.

The Top Gear piece includes some fantastic images of the bridge from the air.
