Sometimes I like to share a photo with you just because it shows something I’ve never seen before, and I guess if it’s new to me, it might be new to some of you too!
I noticed this in the churchyard around the eglise in the little town of Segonzac in France. I’ve looked at it a lot and I still don’t really understand what it is.
At a level of simple description, it’s a black and white photograph of a post office, framed in a black frame which is hanging from a rusty metal stick. It seems to have been deliberately placed here, just in front of the wall of the church, and with some flowers planted in front of it.
I find it enormously appealing but what on earth is going on here? Why this particular photo? Why the post office? Why frame it and hang here in the churchyard? And are these particular flowers significant?
I’m just sure there’s a story here, but I don’t know what it is……
Heroes Not Zombies 
Like you, I have asked myself this question when I found these photos in the middle of flower beds.
The answer I got is that what you saw in Segonzac, this is art : photographic art and floral art ! …
In fact, there are several places with photos that show locations of the village : everyone to find the location from which the photo is taken.
A kind of treasure hunt in the village.
We might as well say it then takes a long time to visit the village. But Segonzac is labeled as a “Città Slow” ! So …
Original idea that I have not included yet in the excursions that I organizes to Segonzac and in the vineyards of Cognac.. But should I ?
See you then in Segonzac.
Thank you Jean-Luc – I’ll look forward to slowly finding the other locations. I’m quite happy to take my time! Yes, I think it might be a great idea to add it into your excursions (as long as it doesn’t take too much time away from the cognac tasting!)
No worry Bob. When having a cognac of 50 years of aging, we may wait for 10 extra minutes before tasting it.
This way of elaborating cognacs greatly explains that Segonzac and the Grande Champagne are part of the Città slow movement
