Inland, south Bretagne and the highlands, France 2014

It is a little frustrating to constantly write about how beautiful some places are without being able to show it.  Large scale landscapes are rarely possible for an amateur with a 35 mm camera.  But the top photo gives you come idea of the heavy and dark green forests, interrupted by great fields of fine corn and wheat,and excellent pastures, not to mention cows of every nationality (it seems).  I saw one cow of a copper colour and markings like the lady shown above (Google world maps gone bad) whcih was a style I have never seen elsewhere.

You could say Bretagne looks like a prosperous Ireland, or Scotland or parts of England, which is not very surprising considering the the general region.  I did think I might see some human here or there in some sort of dress indicating regionality (and I was not thinking or India nor Iran, just to be clear), but there was none.  Likewise for all the journalistic crowing about food blah, blah, blah, it was either irritatingly similar or insanely expensive.

The inland region referred to locally as mountains ought to be called highlands by saner people, but it is beautiful and peaceful farm country with not a lot to do or see for the.  I ended up talking to a number of cows who were polite about it but clearly thought me daft.

did ja wan something or jes lookin  ??
