Daniel: Mr Boots (below) asks, "Is this a Postcard?"

PS There is a Group for Cat Lovers where maybe your photo (if it's not a Postcard) belongs

3. LA CORNICE D'ORA, VAR, FRANCE --The right way up (sorry about that)...

Hidden away is something in the cave at the back. I don't know what it is. i thought it might be a cabin for bathers to change in. But it looks remakably like one of our local beaches' garbage collection stations;

FOUR BORING POSTCARDS THAT HAVE THINGS HIDDEN AWAY IN THEM BUT YOU HAVE TO LOOK VERY CLOSELY TO FIND THEM....

1. Starting with something simple....the Monastery of Mount Sinai St Catherine

Hidden away beneath the mountains is the Monastery 'viewed from the Stairway'. (Maybe St Catherine was the inspiration for Led Zeppelin's 'Stairway to Heaven'?)

2. Prehistoric cave, Pech-Merle, Cabrerets, France

Hidden away are two prehistoric paintings of female bisons. Where are they? Look at the red dots top lef tand bottom center, and voilà!--  two prehistoric female bisons.

3. La Corniche d'Or, Var, France

Hidden away is something in the cave at the back. I don't know what it is. i thought it might be a cabin for bathers to change in. But it looks remakably like one of our local beaches' garbage collection stations;

4.'The Famous Point de Hoc and the American Monument', Caen, Calvados, France

Hidden away, is the Cleopatra Needle-type American Monument, top left. It overlooks the famous Omaha Beach.
