  • Aragon

    Aragon

    We drove at ease through Aragon. A beautiful area where a proud people have lived for centuries, just listen to this song … It is a pity that the old culture of living in small villages nowadays suffers from migration to the big city. I expect that the coming energy- and economy transition will cause…

  • Esco

    Esco

    It’s known as an “Pueblo Abandonado”, but I’m not sure if it really was left voluntarily … Esco “A Franco-era dam flooded (almost) everyone out of this centuries-old Aragonese town.” Source: Abandoned Village of Esco – Sigüés, Spain – Atlas Obscura If you’re careful and aware of the dangers of an unlocked ruin, you can…

    Through the Basque region from France to Spain …

    We were in Moliets-Plage when we read about the fire in Notre-Dame … The Basque region is fantastic to travel through … With our camper we want to be free, in a quiet and interesting place in nature, with an eye on the local history … Despite the low water level, photography was pleasant around…

  • Retired and then enjoy living in France!

    A former fellow student of Marjan is retired and has decided to live in the South of France … during our vacation we visited her. Her house has more or less remained in its original state as it was bought years ago. I tried to capture the romantic and inviting appearance. Nowadays she’s living like…

    La Roche d’Oëtre

    La Roche d’ Oëtre is a very nice area for nice walks. We have used it as a starting point for a camper trip to the Pyrenees …

  • Is it autumn?

    Is it autumn?

    Because we live on the coast, we don’t see autumn in nature as clearly as in woodlands.  [satire mode on] That’s why we went to the Ardennes to see firsthand how naturally fall looks for forest dwellers. Nowadays, with climate change, you do not know how things stand with the seasons. Science is only a belief, they…

  • Solsona

    Solsona

    Solsona, a nice small town in Spain …

  • One of the caves at Jánovas

    One of the caves at Jánovas

    Years ago, engineers started to make big drain channels near Jánovas that would belong to the future water reservoir. During construction, it was decided to stop the work. Thus it has remained as a useless cave of about 100 meters in length. It was 32 degrees Celcius outside, so I decided to cool off in…

  • The church of Jánovas

    The church of Jánovas

    The church was used during the making of a film. That is why the paintings are still so clear … whether they are still original, I do not know.
