Neck breaker (none / 0)

If there ever was a place designed to break one's neck, that staircase would be it.

There is a handrail on the left; you just don't see it in this photo.

Another strange artefact in the area of that building up there.

From the sign in the bottom-left corner, it must be somewhere in France. But the only one I can read says "Toutes directions" which doesn't help much.

Re: Photos as Usual (4.00 / 5)

The first two pictures are taken in Plombières-les-Bains and the third one is in Luxeuil-les-Bains. If you look at the french wiki version you find more detailed information.

Both are spas as the area has lots of mineral springs. I used the spa in Plombières-les-Bains. Very interessting place - the spa is spread over different buildings which are connected by tunnels build by the Romans. From the Hamam you can even look into a hamam that was also build by the Romans, but is not used anymore.

There is also a public trinking fountain very you can go and trink the water.

You might be more familiar with two other places in that area - Vittel and Contrexéville.

Since you're soliciting opinions LEP, I'll just give mine. I love the ET Photo blog. It's something I look forward to every week. It adds a glimpse into the lives of the people who hang here, and I find it really interesting.

Re: Photos as Usual (4.00 / 2)

Thanks. I, and I'm sure In Wales, are most happy to hear that.

I totally agree! I love looking at the pics and appreciate the effort that goes into setting up the diary each week.

I'm always so jealous of your European street scenes: sophisticated, colorful, interesting. We do 'hokey' here in small town New Mexico. Here's a few pics from the recent Labor Day parade.
