Celts from Brittany came and conquered and settled here like they did on the way in most of western France, hence the large numbers of menhirs (“pointy stones”) and dolmens (“stone tables”). This took place during the 5th century BC, and this Celtic cross from the early 1100s, perhaps older, attests to their enduring presence on those land.Nikon D810, Carl Zeiss 15mm, ƒ/2.8 Distagon T* ZF.2 lens, manual focus, handheld.[Going away for the HolidaysDon’t worry if you do not see any new things uploaded by me over the Holiday Season, I will simply be away from my computer until the beginning of next year. On Sunday morning, my wife and I shall leave our home and drive up to Calais to board the “Shuttle” train that runs in the Channel Tunnel. We are going to spend Christmas and New Year’s with some of our children in England. On the return trip, we will be visiting more family in Normandy, then in the Paris area, so we won’t be back home again until January 6.On the trip I will bring my iPad as usual so I may be able to respond to messages if any, but I won’t have anything to upload. I do bring minimal photo equipment as, aside from photo-shoots with my 2½ year-old granddaughter (her Mom is requesting them!), I intend to visit at least two seemingly very interesting Romanesque churches in the county of Kent, and maybe an additional one in the county of Norfolk. So, there will be things to show one day or another.You guys all have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! See you in ’25!][ATTACH=full]413394[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
