In July I made a trip over to France and Germany. The first stage of the trip was a sea crossing from Newhaven to Dieppe. We were staying at a campsite close to the village of Nesles-la-Vallée, however after Dieppe, we went to Fecamp and then crossed the Seine and went to Honfleur.
Back in the 1970s and 1980s we would go on family holidays to Normandy and Honfleur was one of those places that stuck in my young memory. It was so very different to the English towns I had experienced, with it’s tall buildings, narrow streets and strange shops. Back then I didn’t have a camera at first and when I eventually did get one it was a 110 film instamatic style camera. This was a terrible camera (from Boots I think it was) and the quality of the prints were awful, covered in all those stickers and usually blurred. Well you could blame the photographer.
In the late 1990s I made a weekend trip to Normandy, and I did want to visit Honfleur again. This time I took my 35mm SLR and took some photographs, which I posted to the blog back in 2015.
This time I used my iPhone 13 to take some photographs.
