Taken on the way to the old beach of Propriano in Corsica. If I had been really lucky I could have taken a snap of someone seated here with a tree growing out of their head :) See PiP for the beach scene. Enjoy full screen. Have a great day.

Only minutes before taking this, the sun was burning my head and I feared for sun-burn. We are in the mountain town of Sartene just doing a short two hour trip here, and I am looking NE into the Island interior. As it happened, no rain dropped here but we heard and saw the lightning. We were to be hit by the downpour on getting back to the harbour of Propriano. Best full screen.

A fine modern fence guides us up these steps towards the local church. A journey no doubt taken by many local parishioners. Taken in Propriano, Corisica Enjoy the weekend

Our ship to explore some of the Mediterranean. Here in the little port of Propriano in Corsica. Nice jaw structure - you should see its teeth :) Happy Saturday ps home now

An afternoon trip to the mountain village town of Sartene near Propriano brings us to these narrow backstreets, always photogenic to me with these characteristic steps and balconies. Somewhat cooler than the hot squares too. Nice full screen.

A character out-house anchors this scenic view of modern Propriano and Baetaccia on the Island of Corsica. In the distance we see the large beach of 'Plage de Barac'. A good place here to bathe or take a small boat trip. We see here too, the more characteristic views of the islands rugged mountains some hours yet before the real storm arrives. HWW, have a great day.

After disembarking our ship we search nearby for the lighthouse we saw whilst sailing into port. Here we are on the rocky side whereas beyond the high quay is a sandy beach. Clear gentle waters beckon a swim but the water is still cool. In the distance are the green hills of this marvellous Island of Corsica. Nice full screen.

Corsica, France: having walked to the town centre we spy this church sitting at the highest point. It’s quite new at being built in 2005 and has a most most attractive interior. The Pip shows an outside view. Enjoy full screen. Have a great day

As we sail into the port of Propriano on the south west of this Island it is nice to see these fabled mountains and landscapes. This is big hiking country with wild wonderful hills, valleys and peaks as well as a wonderful coast but for us, a splendid small fishing and hillside town to explore today in the limited time available. As can be surmised, active weather was to hit us later in the day. Nice full screen.

A quick trip to the French Island of Corsica and the town of Propriano brings me here. One of many back street scenes that are quite different from the ones I see in Britain. Enjoy full size
