Love, love, love those shots through an archway.

Pet door?

What are that ring and pin all about?

Well spotted... not caption needed!

Curiosity got the better of me re the possibility of a beer brand from Eugene ending up in France. The font branding is different, which mad me question if it really was the guys in Orygun. Turns out is Ninkasi Fabrique, based in Lyon.

You sure are packing in a lot of great rides at the end of the season and before you leave. I'm sorry to see your trip on this side of the ocean coming to an end.

Magic!

No regrets.

Somehow it keeps slipping into photos. I don’t know how that keeps happening.

1901 First Prize

As always, really enjoying reading your travels. Hope the remaining weeks go smoothly. I'm watching the news closely too. Hoping for a better future for our neighbours to the south!
