With all the recent talk about building walls, I think Stop 18 is a timely showcase of true human ingenuity with rock. This striking pic is Maison Forte de Reignac, by .....🏰......
Look real close...this magnificent 14thC chateau is set smack into the rockface......🏰......
And my second pic is the seabaths at Eden, on Australia's east coast....under the shelter of that massive rock when a storm rolls in from the Pacific Ocean......🏰......

For Stop 17 on our Dordogne winter tour, I was sure we'd be seeing some Snow Queen action by now...but alas, none to report. Doesn't She know I have an Insta account to feed??

So I am posting this pic of the stunning Eyrignac Gardens from winters past. And following up with a lovely pic of this spot I took early last Spring. Just shows...at least Eyrignac never lets an Instagrammer down.

Merci à Eyrignac et ses Jardins Magnifique!............

Stop 16: don't you just love a framed view! Here's two ways to do it: the first created by medieval stonemasons at Chateau des Milandes. And the second by Mother Nature at The Grotto, on Victoria's Great Ocean Road, Australia. ........🏰.........
Merci Très beau!........🏰...............................
