Wraps…2.

Saturday, 14th October and a bright, warm, sunny afternoon after a very misty-grey morning.

I continue with trying to capture the countryside that wraps itself around this small town.  Damvillers is set in a small valley on the Woevre Plain, between the Meuse Heights and a run of hills which include Horange, Romange, Chaumont and others.  I have been unable to find a collective name for these hills; maybe there isn’t one. The Meuse Heights, in the west, run south from Stenay towards Lac Madine and the land to the east is the Woevre Plain - a huge area, bordered west and north by the Argonne Forest. To the east of our local hills and south beyond Verdun the land is more open though not without its rolling farmland and forested hills which are more evident in this part of the Plain.

East of the town looking west towards the Meuse Heights.

 

Turning south, barely visible - Damvillers church spire in the middle. Should have got less road but the sun was too bright to see properly!

To the east - Horogne...

...and Romagne.

South-east.

Over the bridge, heading west back to town past meadows by the River Thinte...

South-west...

...west...

...and back north-west towards the town...

Autumn splash from part country, part town!

Next time - to the south...
