Brittany (Bretagne)

In the summer of 2005 I spent a pleasant holiday in Brittany.
Unfortunately my photographic skills are too limited to 'catch' and show the full beauty and variety of this extraordinary region in France.
However, these pictures might give you a few impressions ...

Lovely pictures. I was walking on the Côte du Granit Rose a few years ago and a couple of years ago in Finistère Sud near Douarnenez. I'm scouring the Internet looking for the names of some of the places I visited now that I'm making a short diaporama with captions.

I am planning my vacation in Brittany next month. Your beautiful gallery is a great inspiration. Thanks.

Mooi gefotografeerde reeks over Bretagne. Nodigt uit om de streek te gaan bezoeken.
Willy 17-Apr-2009 17:40
gewoon prachtig, al 10 jaar bekoort de streek me, spijtig kun je via de heel mooie photo's de even mooie cultuur, historie, sfeer en lekker eten niet proeven. De boodschap is, zelf bezoeken

dag marc,

je foto's zijn prachtig. Het is genieten om er naar te kijken en een prima reclame voor de streek.

beste Mark,

wat een schitterende reeks foto's daar in Bretagne.
We vertrekken binnenkort met ons gezinnetje naar daar, ik ben benieuwd of het er werkelijk zo mooi is....

I love them. They really are great! In Summer 2005 I was in St. Malo to attend a three weeks language course. At that time I used a old digital Minolta of my brother. I barely knew anything about composition and techniques, therefore my photos aren't barely as good as yours.

It seems that we almost went to the same places. Have you also been in Jersey?

Regards, Agnes
