I thought I’d started up the camcorder before I took off from Galinat on Sunday but only found out when I arrived at Cavarc that evidently I’d not pushed the button for long enough and had therefore failed to record anything on the way down. However, I took a shot of Les Eyzies as I flew past, which was unfortunately from the ‘wrong’ direction ie from the north, so you can’t see the caves, and against the sun. Nevertheless it came out pretty well.<\/p>\n

I successfully recorded a video of the take off from Cavarc and the journey back to Galinat, which I’m in the process of editing, but all of the rest of the pictures that follow in this post are just still photographs.<\/p>\n

First, a few general shots of Cavarc and 56NE parked on the apron.<\/p>\n

After taking off to head for home, I initially flew north from Cavarc to take me past Beaumont du Perigord and Lalinde. Beaumont has a fortified church and a fine chateau but I failed to spot either and ended up taking no photographs. Maybe next time. Here’s a shot taken as I was approaching Lalinde, which is on the Dordogne river.<\/p>\n

I then turned east to follow the Dordogne for a few miles and the next couple of shots were taken just a short distance from Lalinde. I’m pretty certain that the buildings in the bottom left of the first of the two pics are a local prison \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

A few miles further on is the village of Limeuil which is famous as it’s located at the confluence of the rivers V\u00e9z\u00e8re and Dordogne. The following pictures are of the point where the rivers join, with the V\u00e9z\u00e8re coming in from the top to join the Dordogne. I think that it’s interesting to see from the colour of the water that the two flows remain quite separate from each other for some distance after the rivers have actually joined, before the V\u00e9z\u00e8re finally becomes absorbed into the Dordogne.<\/p>\n

And here’s a closer shot that I took of Limeuil as I flew past, heading east along the V\u00e9z\u00e8re towards Le Bugue<\/p>\n

Le Bugue isn’t very far from Limeuil and was clearly visible in the near distance. I’ve already taken some shots of Le Bugue, which I’ve included in some previous posts, but as I was approaching the town from a different direction, I took a few more on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Once I’d passed Le Bugue, I was on the home leg for Galinat and I was almost ready to put my camera away. But it was lucky that I didn’t, because before I realised it, I was flying over a beautiful chateau that I’ve seen many times from the road when driving to and from Sarlat and which I’d wanted to photograph from the air for a long time. And here’s the result – the Chateau de Marzac, which is close to Tursac, that you can see in the distance on the road between Les Eyzies and Sarlat.<\/p>\n

Apparently, all of the houses in its proximity are the property of the chateau owners and are let out as luxury family holiday homes. I think that it’s one of the prettiest of all the chateaux in the surrounding area and I was really pleased to get the above shot, which was the last that I took on Sunday. I’m looking forward to the next opportunity to shoot some more, now that the weather is beginning to pick up at last. Mind you, today hasn’t been too bright, but it can’t go on forever, can it \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
