Photography Afriel: france

As of this weekend just gone, we are back home from our honeymoon and all settled in back in the UK. We stayed in a small, remote village in the centre of France for two weeks and it was the most relaxing thing ever, so relaxing in fact that I didn't take any photos - just the instagrams below. But not to worry, I'll just have to make up with double the shooting now that I'm back home! :-)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b>LE MANS</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">We stopped in Le Mans for a day between our train journey and picking up our hire car. We visited the 24hr race museum, walked along the river, got lost in the old city, fell in love with its beautiful buildings and cathedral and made friends with a cat along the way!</div></div><br /><img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/Photo14-05-2013031449PM_zps708cd659.jpg" width="343px" /> <img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/Photo15-05-2013033312PM_zpsdf8018b9.jpg" width="343px" /><br /><img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/Photo15-05-2013031812PM_zpsb913739c.jpg" width="343px" /> <img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/Photo15-05-2013031317PM_zpsbc9f2678.jpg" width="343px" /><br /><img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/IMG_0178-1_zps68bb7679.jpg" width="343px" /> <img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/IMG_9532_zps519a2210.jpg" width="343px" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b>EN ROUTE</b><br /><b><br /></b><div style="text-align: left;">The French countryside was absolutely beautiful to travel through, both by car and by train. Just down the road from us there was an amazing corridor of horse chestnut trees that looked straight out of a film, somewhere I wish I'd shot a self portrait now!</div><b><br /></b></div><img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/Photo16-05-2013095441AM_zps694c31a5.jpg" width="343px" /> <img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/Photo21-05-2013033815PM_zps0f273145.jpg" width="343px" /><img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/Photo22-05-2013040229PM_zps54e2d959.jpg" width="343px" /> <img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/Photo30-05-2013055132PM_zps102d2584.jpg" width="343px" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b>VICHY</b><br /><b><br /></b></div>We visited the spa town of Vichy for the day, did a spot of shopping, bought 4 huge cakes from a patisserie and visited the Parc des Sources and drank their famous spring water.<br /><br /><img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/Photo21-05-2013030023PM_zpsd5a4366c.jpg" width="343" /> <img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/Photo21-05-2013110805AM_zpsf72e4218.jpg" width="343" /><img border="0" src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/Photo-21-05-2013-03-40-33-PM_zpsd3a01343.jpg" width="343px" /> <img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/Photo21-05-2013041859PM_zpsf5c95b8d.jpg" width="343px" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b>HOME</b><br /><b><br /></b></div>Other than the towns above, we didn't do a lot of serious travelling and spent most of our time relaxing or driving around and getting lost amongst the picture-perfect landscapes and villages that surrounded us.<br /><br /><img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/Photo20-05-2013041838PM_zps970b1718.jpg" width="343px" /> <img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/Photo17-05-2013095339AM_zps53d412cf.jpg~original" width="343px" /><br /><img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/Photo23-05-2013061501PM_zps1cf37b8d.jpg" width="343px" /> <img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/Photo22-05-2013053450PM_zpsd55495b4.jpg" width="343px" /><br /><img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/Photo24-05-2013111753AM1_zpsf0b8a3c2.jpg" width="343px" /> <img src="http://i1184.photobucket.com/albums/z338/dismantlerepair_storage2/Photo24-05-2013110721AM_zpsff7303d2.jpg" width="343px" /><br /><br />So here I am, back home to the beautiful weather we have been having in the UK and working away in the sunshine. I'm ridiculously excited to get out and about and start shooting again, so keep your eyes peeled as always on this blog for new shoots, behind the scenes bits and pieces and personal work!<br /><br /><iframe allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fdismantlerepair-photo.blogspot.com%2F2013%2F06%2Ffrance-through-instagram.html&send=false&layout=standard&width=450&show_faces=false&font=arial&colorscheme=light&action=like&height=35&appId=112365025537572" style="border: none; height: 35px; overflow: hidden; width: 450px;"></iframe>
