The story behind this image

Nestled on the banks of the river Eure as it flows through the Normandy countryside, Pont de L'Arche is a charming historical French market town.

The oldest part of town is full of rickety timber framed buildings and little courtyards, such as the example pictured here.

Of course, such a scene as this just begs to be shown in monochrome, enhancing the olde worlde feel of the image to match the atmosphere of the town itself.
