Preparing to cycle le canal du midi

Hopefully, this will eventuate September/October 2010. These images were made during 2008 in the Languedoc.



I am preparing the occasional post to sort out what I need to do to prepare the ageing body for two weeks cycling tow-paths. Need to have a bicycle renovation, first!

It was a lovely area around St Andre, I just wish that we'd had bikes.

The final two images are included to remind me of the value of populating a shot with people. I just wish I had retained the zoom of the first shot and just been more patient.

We are considering biking along canals for our 2010 sojourn: either Brest-Nantes or Canal du Midi.
