Can I side-track my own thread for a second? My recent book “Along the Line”, written partly as a graphic narrative, talks about modern-day “standing stones” used to demarcate state borders. (Published in French as “Bornées”.) Apart from the shameless self-promotion, I mention this because the visitors’ centre in Carnac suggested that the #standingstones could be some sort of borders or markers of territory. Why not? But obviously completely different from modern conceptions! #Alongtheline
Sometimes, traces of the past haunt our landscapes discreetly. An incongruously thick wall across a wooded valley. Border infrastructures left over from war and conflict, easy to miss from a train window. This was once the #GothicLine, a place of fierce battles in Northern Tuscany, during WW2. There are many more, more photographed places along this line, like the superb Ponte della Maddalena. But I search out the ghosts, the lines, the stones. #Bornées #AlongTheLine #slowTravel #Trains
