After foul weather yesterday, the sky cleared late this morning and by mid-afternoon the light had become spectacular, so on our way back to Touraine we stopped above Chavignol and look a few shots.

Chavignol is often misty and foggy, especially during the winter. I can only assume that the inhabitants have become so attached to these conditions that, even on clear days, they light large, smoky fires, so they don't think they have taken a wrong turning on the way home.
