Sierne














I'm sure it's impossible to take a bad photo in Sierne! The photos have a distinctive quality about them due to the washed out, faded look of the buildings. I rather like this lack of colour.














This is a view of the village, it's very small. Sierne is not far from us and still in the commune of Veyrier. I've walked there a few times but I have yet to see the same reflective light that impressed me on Good Friday. I think I must have got there earlier in the day. These photos were taken in the late afternoon and the sun shines half way down the walls making the shadows quite dark.















I've seen photos of Sierne on the internet - this has already been done!




















I can only dream of living in a house like this. It overlooks a vineyard and a valley with France stretching out beyond.




















Another of those morphing doors!















I love that colour against the grey stone.

Felicity, I really love these photos of old doors & windows. I want to do a series of small works in fiber on portals. I wish I could come visit your town & see these places in person. Thanks for the quick trips!
