Old Minerve

Minerve, Languedoc, France

One of the most spectacular old French stone towns in Languedoc must surely be the little Cathar town of Minerve. The only real sign of modernity to blight it are the bland grey discs of satelite dishes that sometimes sprout up incongruously on their honey stoned walls. This particular viewpoint was worked out after a good deal of scouting and necessitated crossing one of the most horrendous claggy clay fields I have ever waded around. Never-the-less as sunset approached I knew I had made the right choice.

Super capture Ian that gorgeous colour of the walls gives real warmth and I can't see any of those dreaded dishes!

It is beautiful and the light sets it off very well. It is how I imagine a medieval European town would look. Well done.
