Batterie Todt hinges

In the Batterie Todt, number 4 bunker, near Calais — once a German gun which could fire far enough to reach England.
Found, by chance, with refreshing lack of healh-and-safety mania, or indeed "restoration".
This whole place was a really powerful antidote to the experience I had at Oradour (see later in this set) where the well-intentioned "preservation" of the place had robbed it of all emotion for me.

Rouen Cathedral is full of wonderful statues of saints, all with realistic faces, and crude paper labels...

It's the distance I love, and the mist in it.
The tour guide insisted on setting up camp right in front of where I was trying to get this shot, and not moving for what seemed like... ever. So, she ends up in the photo, which may or may not add to it, so I don't really mind!
