28/07/2016 A drive past Cognac to La Rochelle and back. All photos taken from a moving car.

Maximum temperature 26C, minimum 14C.  17 kph NW winds.   Light rain not measured yet.

Major obstruction on the road but a job that needs doing.

Maize, sunflowers and grapes all in the distance.

Vineyards of Cognac

Grapes as far as the eye can see in every direction.

Tolls on the road.

Saw this lotus parked but then....

filling up with fuel; look what was parked in front of us.  Anyone who has been following me for long knows that we are big Porsche fans.

 Plane trees are a common sight in France.

Ghost signs.

I have taken photos of this 'dragon' before on a centre island in the road, but here he is again!

Maximum temperature14C,minimum 2C.  27 km/h S wind.  Very misty early on.

A pair of racing Porsches GT3RS.

Chevrolet Corvette.

Ferrari.

Racing Lotus. (No doors they climbed in and out from the top.)

An old fire engine.

Triumph TR2/3 and a Caterham 7

Porsche 996.

Suddenly the mist moved in....

But I was intrigued by the reflection of this white Porsche GT3RS in the side mirror on the opposite side of the car.

The supermarket building about 100 metres in the background!

Driving home the ghostly rising sun through the mist...

which later cleared slightly. Photos taken through the windscreen of our car.

Closer to home the mist has still not quite gone.
