This telephone booth still stands in the middle of the center of Cadouin. At its peak in 1997, there were approximately 300,000 telephone booths (cabines téléphoniques) in France. With the rise of the mobile phone, usage declined rapidly from the beginning of the 21st century. With the French "Loi Macron" of 2015, the legal obligation for provider Orange to maintain public telephone booths was abolished, after which virtually all of them were dismantled or converted into, for example, mini-libraries (boîtes à livres) just like this one. The word never stopped spreading into this one.

It is always fun to edit a modern photo, especially if the original photo is truly suitable for it. A different interpretation, as a drawing, painting, or any other creative execution that shows the original photo in a totally different light. The possibilities are endless, and the result, when I am finished, is even more ready to be framed.

Many centuries have passed in the tranquil villages of the Périgord Noir. There are many historic buildings and houses where only time is the visible change. Many streets may look empty now but that view used to be different. If we change the view back in time and restore the image to earlier times, a surprising picture emerges. Villages show us an ordinairy day back in time but it could easily be early 20th century. Tn the Périgord Noir, the use of horses (and ox carts) as the primary means of transport and work in agriculture persisted for a relatively long time, until the mid-1960s. - Enjoy the view, back in time!

Many centuries have passed in the tranquil villages of the Périgord Noir. There are many historic buildings and houses where only time is the visible change. We now see cars where horse and carriage were once the daily sight, but many other modern objects also disrupt that historical picture. If we momentarily remove these modern changes and restore the image to earlier times, a surprising picture emerges. Villages truly become the central place of gathering, trade, and administration once again. Thus, we still see a market, but now as the central hub where everything from the region comes together. - Enjoy the view, back in time!

Some different type of photos during my visits to the beautiful village of Monpazier, an excellent photography location! Here are some of my captures using some of that extra photograpic skills and techniques like a different view, angle and type of post processing used. Meanwhile I enjoyed the tranquillity of this village, slowing down my regular pace, to discover there is so much more to see.

Stepping out from the subterranean corridors of the train station, a traveler ascends into the daylight of a new adventure. This quick snapshot captures this transition, where the warmth of the sun-drenched platform tells the beginning of her yet unknown story.

Paris has long been the heart of European rail travel, acting as a historical gateway connecting diverse cultures and landscapes. This journey upwards reminds us that every station exit marks the beginning of a fresh story in an unfamiliar streets. Maybe that's why the most of us love to travel.

Op 1 juli is het in Nederland de 'Nationale Rode Roosdag'. De dag waarop Nederlandse bloemisten rozen volop promoten en mensen aanmoedigen hun liefde en waardering te uiten met de bloem die symbool staat voor romantiek.

The timeless charm of rustic European architecture comes alive in this striking frame featuring a historic stone church in Boussac. Walking past the warm, textured granite walls, local figures in vintage-style attire add a compelling human element to the serene landscape. This specific style of bell gable, known locally as a clocher-mur, is an architectural signature often seen throughout the medieval regions of central France.

These enduring stone structures were built not just as sanctuaries, but as resilient community cornerstones designed to weather centuries of change. Capturing the interplay of historical masonry and open skies always reminds me of the deep, quiet stories woven into regional heritage. This remarkable structure has stood as a silent witness to local life and enduring traditions for hundreds of years. This photo captures the quintessential essence of early medieval French religious architecture, originating roughly between the late 11th and early 13th centuries (making it approximately 800 to 900 years old).
