Old Places Recent Time

A Time Traveller’s dilemma is a sudden shift in time and space perhaps sparked by a coming storm, a cold wind or the hope of discovery in new lands past and present. Sometimes the shifts are like a stone skipping on a very big patch of water from one city to another.

The places most pleasing to eye and spirit were not from this time – but from earlier times when stone was considered the best of building materials.

The old houses line an ancient street leading to the university in Montpellier, France.

The aquaduct looks Roman but is more recent - it brought water from Black Mountains to the top of the walled city of Montpellier.

The views from houses in the centre of town are of church steeples and tiled roofs.

The view from the end of the aquaduct is towards the highest part of the old City - through the arch of triumph.
