Re: and

That I leave up to you :-) I'm afraid wooden 'castles' have been growing like mushrooms at the foot of the mts :-( in villages such as Ziar in recent years. What's more, these days even some Galls can be (planning on) building another one:)

Re: "The Galls?"

Now, I need to reopen my history book. Who are/were the Galls?
Where did they actually originate from? Do they like to climb
mountains?

Re: Gallic

Sacrebleu! No doubt my English is limited, no wonder I often sound like I'm speaking in French, or Latin, or something like that. The only other alternative could be my subconscious just meant those annoying Gauls :-) Anyway, I was referring to some roving Gallic – by no means to Native American – warriors:)) No need to resort to a history book, Larry.

Re: Gallic

What, I don't get to reopen my dusty history book with yellowing pages?

Interesting ... I didn't know of the connection between Gauls and
Druids.

Instead of all the "aggressive activity," those folks COULD have
been out there making conquests of lofty peaks. Guess I'll never
understand what all the fighting was for back then ... ):

Re: !!!!

I'm glad you like it, appreciate your pix and hope you'll contribute to this album again in future. But the general idea had been here before:)
