Small details such as the stockings hanging on the makeshift line and the cat in the window add detail to this street scene.

Sometimes you just have to get away, put on your photographers head and look for a few photos. Here it was an early morning with the sun streaming down the valley. The three old bells were the silhoutted highlight I needed.

The great advantage of bridge cameras is their adaptability and speed of use. Whilst out walking I always carry my camera in a bag at my hip on my belt. Here, all 14 if us saw the old man and his cattle come around the corner but I was the only one fast enough to get the camera out, turn it on, compse and capture the image of the backlit group walking up the street. The other old Frenchman on the right just completes the scene.
