The Cat's House
Well, here I regretted not carrying my proper camera. Because I couldn't zoom in to the statue of the cat on top of the roof.
Statue of Felicita Pauļuka

Le Nomade
I love the Nomade. The first time I saw him, I found the statue too static for a nomade. But now I can understand him. And I love him.
Le Nomade
So many so different pictures one can take with the Nomade.
Antibes
Picasso Museum
A... a... something on the terrace of the Picasso Museum.
Old Antibes
So this is how an angel looks like from behind!
Carmen de los Martires Gardens
Entrance to the Gardens of Carmen de los Martires. Fuente de la Ninfa de la Gruta.

The inscription on the statue ends with "Rex Cat". While I'm sure this doesn't mean "King Cat", it surely looks like it :-)

What a lovely wave fountain.

These are some headless statues...

Palacio de Dar al-Horra
No, this is not an entrance, but a tiny niche (called a taqa). Probably used to store a vase or a jug of water.

The statue of Dr Paccard

All the details of the castle become visible from the terraces.
Mont Saint-Michel
Virgin and the child, 13th century.
Côte de granit rose
Oratoire de Saint-Guirec dating from 11th-12th century. Apparently sticking needles into the saint's nose (and the needle remaining there during the high tide) would guarantee you getting married within a year. No wonder it's so eroded :-)
Calvary at Guimiliau
This Calvary was completed in 1588. It depicts 37 scenes from the life and death of Jesus Christ.

Guimiliau
The entry to the South porch (1617): We can see Cain killing Abel (bottom left), and plenty of Noah: picking grapes (top left), being drunk (top right), Noah's Ark (bottom right). I don't know what the rest it.

Adam and Eve and the temptation.

Someone on a donkey...

Every little corner is richly decorated with funny creatures. Again, I have no idea who these two guys are.
Calvary at Guimiliau
The west face of the Calvary. Most notably: the doors on the left, so the priest could climb on the calvary and deliver a sermon. A niche with Paul Aurelian; Top row: Crown of thorns; Pietà; the Resurrection with drunk guards sleeping; Mouth of Hell with devil's lover. Bottom row: John the Evangelist; Entry into Jerusalem; The Last Supper; Luke the Evangelist.
Calvary at Pleyben
The Resurrection of Jesus. Three soldiers sleeping and one is blinded by what he sees. I find it so amusing by how they are dressed. So 16th century :-)
Calvary at Pleyben
Calvary from 1555. Funnily, the cleaned Calvary no longer looks so old :-) Bottom row: the Annunciation, the Visitation, the Nativity, the Adoration of the Magi, the Flight to Egypt, Jesus meeting the lawyers. Top row: the Harrowing of Hell; Jesus leading Adam and Eve; a Jew holding a scroll with the charges against Jesus; a soldier dressing Christ in his royal robe.
Col du Galibier
This eagle sign on the Col du Galibier must be new. Never seen it before. Lovely view of Barre des Écrins through it.

A clever installation in a mining town. Glückau'
Pestsäule in Leoben
Leoben had to fight plague in 1347, 1352 and 1716. In 1716 the column was erected in the town square. Maybe it helped as there has been no more plague since :-) The Holy Trinity at the top with St. Barbara, St. Xaver, St. Sebastian on the left and St. Rochus, St. Jakob and St. Florian on the right.
