Roscoff and Ile de Batz, Brittany, France
Flowers growing on the wall and ferns
growing on a grave at the central church in Roscoff, the town where I was attending
an "Evolutionary Genomics" conference.
Strong tides at Roscoff's
harbor (note the water mark from high tide on the rock wall).
After I gave my presentation
on Friday, we had an afternoon off to explore the nearby Ile de Batz.
Purple flowers popular with
people and mollusks alike.
Hiked around half the island
with a couple old friends from Cornell days - lots of pleasant coast
and horse meadows.
One of several nice sunsets
- this was right outside the conference building.
