La Borie.

These small, round, stone-roofed 'bories' are very much a feature around where I live; one finds them everywhere. They are just big enough for a shepherdess and friend to shelter from the rain (ahem).

This one has been well positioned overlooking downward sloping pasture, with a good view over several hectares.

Reasons for their original construction vary depending on who you ask, but in general they are all-purpose, small, dry shacks, for either human or animal shelter. In other words you do with them what you wish; and with whom!

This is the same building from the back. I photographed it when I recently took Monty down to the lake for a swim; nice, isn't it!
