My Sunday Photo - 28th February 2016


I recently visited the nearby Medieval city of Domfront and delighted in beautiful old buildings, ancient and more modern churches, a fantastic ruined castle ... and the best drain covers I've seen in a long while.  If you are going to have a drain cover why not make it a bit more attractive which is just what Domfront as done adding their coat of arms and city name. There are more Domfront pictures here.

    I do like a good coat of arms, it implies history and heritage

    Hi Rosie, how interesting. It looks good enough to be the face of a coin too.

      Ha ha and it turned the ordinary and utilitarian into something much more beautiful.

    The mark of a beautiful city is often how well designed and ornate even the utilitarian things are, and this is lovely!

      That is so true and this sort of attention to detail makes Domfront so lovely.

    That is fantastic! I think all drain covers should be decorated like that. It would make the world a more interesting place x

      It's nice to know something so mundane can also be beautiful.
