We hope to find the bike path through the old slate quarry today. We came along it years ago, also from the east.

Anger visit brings back fond memories. I loved the textile and the end of the world scenario. And a few minutes with Monty P is always well spent. I also recall entering Anger from the East through a slate mining area with bike path and lots of interpretation.

Most image editing software (there's probably one that came with your camera) will allow you to brighten dark zones and lighten bright areas (as long as they aren't completely devoid of information). This is even applicable to jpeg files, though there is more information to play with in RAW files.

We had a great visit with Michel and Jeannette. As you see, the conversation was about more than cycling. Tomorrow we will ride through the old slate quarry and maybe visit the museum at Trelaze. Next autumn we hope to be on your side of the country, and perhaps we can squeeze in another visit with you and Sue.

Salut Michel,
Pour être bref: c’est de la physique. Pour être moins bref, la lune est plus petit que le la terre, donc il a transféré son momentum angulaire de rotation a le révolution plus vite. Pour être complètement correct, il faut un physicien !

No more operated. Slates are now coming from Spain but sometime with trace of rust in it. Iron oxydation ?

It was a pleasure for us to speak with the famous Grampies.

One important question raised by Steve still reminds : pourquoi la rotation de la lune sur elle-même est très exactement synchrone, (verrouillage gravitationnel), avec la rotation de la terre pour présenter la même face aux habitants de la terre ?

Toue cabanée.
Une toue ou toue cabanée est un type de bac servant de bateau de pêche fluvial traditionnel de la Loire, avec ou sans cabane.

Il y a aussi des gabares.
La gabare ou gabarre (de l'occitan gabarra) est un type de bateau traditionnel destiné au transport de marchandises. Deux types de navires sont désignés par ce mot : les gabares fluviales et les gabares maritimes.

Il s'agit d'un four à chaux.
Le four à chaux ou chaufour est une catégorie de four à calcination dans lequel on transforme le calcaire en chaux par calcination et accessoirement où l’on cuit la céramique. C'est généralement un ouvrage vertical fixe et ouvert par le haut, mais on trouve également des fours horizontaux et rotatifs.
