All of these photos were shot on a Canon Ixus 100. i wish i had a better camera to travel with, but all things considered the shots turned out pretty decent.
The majority of these shots were taken at this old medievel town in Burgundy called Flavigny-sur-Ozerain, made famous by the filming of Chocolat. It was a surreal experience Mum and I drove through countless little French villages whilst on our travels the major feature of these towns being built around old chapels and churches and these towns being somewhat modernised with gravel roads schools etc. However this village on a mountain top looking over the countryside was bordered by a massive concrete wall within its contents lie a seemingly desolate age untouched space. One of the only sounds that we heard when walking arounf Flavigny were my footsteps on the gravel. This tiny community of retired artists, musicians, chefs, farmers all seem content to stay indoors and see out their days decaying beautifully with their surroundings.
See post "Transport" for other photos from Flavigny...the cars.
