NEXT CHALLENGE

From Kylie Greenan's blog:
Next Challenge... "MY Special Place" Friday 7th November. Maybe it is the place you live, a room you love, a place you go... somewhere you love to be, a place that is "your space" that means something to you. (No toilets please :o)

Please also let me know any ideas you might have for future challenge topics.

"Mon endroit préféré" le vendredi 7 novembre
Cela peut être l'endroit où vous vivez, une pièce que vous aimez,un endroit où vous allez ,quelque part où vous aimez être...un endroit qui est "votre endroit" ,qui signifie quelque chose pour vous ".

Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom

I'm trying to imagine how it was with the roof and walls, quite a building I think. NIce captured in the midday sun.
