The latest prompt for the Weekly Photo Challenge was ‘Grand’. My selected photos for this week were taken in France, Spain, Tenerife and Australia. Probably the most awe-inspiring of these was being at the bottom of the second deepest lock in Europe, Bollene, on the Rhone in southern France. It’s very cold, dark and damp down there, even on the brightest summer day.

Very cool, Sandra. BTW, how do you get the little snowflakes on your blog? I’ve seen them elsewhere and would love to do them on mine.

Hi Janet, it was something I did last year, and although I can’t remember how I did it, apparently it’s automatically now set for December each year. It just appeared on Sunday! Tomorrow, when I’m not basking in the warm glow of two glasses of rioja, I will try to determine how it happened. 🙂
