You can see the King's Tower at the top right side of your photograph. I had a look in yours for either the father or the mother of the cat in my photograph, but no luck... :-) Douglas ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Baron" <robertbaron1 at gmail.com> To: "Leica Users Group" <lug at leica-users.org> Sent: Wednesday, May 06, 2015 5:41 PM Subject: Re: [Leica] St. Emilion Memories > Corrected url for my shot: > > http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Bob+Baron/StEmilion1997.jpg.html > > And I can't figure out how that happened. > > On Wed, May 6, 2015 at 11:39 AM, Robert Baron <robertbaron1 at gmail.com> > wrote: > >> Recent photographs posted bring back certain memories, as so many things >> do: In April of 1997 we had the use of a house in a 'commune' (probably >> too small to be called a 'village', and we were told the mayor was a >> communist) about 20 minutes by car southeast of the village of St. >> Emilion. >> >> Douglas Barry's photograph at >> http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DouglasBray/Bordeaux2014_St-Emilion_View1.jpg.html >> shows a tower in the background, known as the Royal Tower or Tower of >> the >> King or something similar; if you climb to the top you can as I did, take >> a >> photograph of a view much beloved in travel magazines: >> >> http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/DouglasBray/Bordeaux2014_St-Emilion_View1.jpg.html >> >> This was scanned some time ago from a C-41 negative (probably Kodak Royal >> Gold) made with a Leitz-Minolta CL, my only camera at the time.
