You might recall my original post entitled ‘a room with a view‘. That was only one view from my room, if I looked down instead of forwards, this is what a saw.

In the third photo, you can see the room I was staying in, three windows from the left on the top floor.

Following our visit to Rennes-Le-Chateau and our winding way to and through the Gorges de Galamus we eventually ended up taking a late lunch in Estagel. I have memories of eating a delicious tuna salad sitting opposite this clock tower and watching the world go by.

I have been thinking about taking part in the 52 photos project for a while but I have not got round to it for one reason or another. Each week Bella gives a prompt to inspire photographers to get creative. The current them is:
Delicate.
Alternate prompts:
soft
ethereal
fragile
subtle
My first photo for the theme isn’t that inspired on my part, but it is a start 
PS: I might go back and find I photo for all the other themes too

Architecture 100 :: 25 – The Galamus Hermitage
The journey through the gorges opened up into a large car-park, which was quite a relief after the narrow road. From that viewpoint you can see the quaint hermitage built into the rocky outcrop.
Since the seventh century, the natural grottes of Galamus, ” the holy mount “, have become
a refuge for the hermits . They built their humble cells, lived in prayer and abstinence, then died .
They placed the site under the protection of Saint Anthony the Great, the patriarch of the monks of the desert .The Franciscans fit out the site in the 15th century . It has become a traditional place of pilgrimage on Easter and Whitsun Mondays .
