These chateaux in southern France were built around 1050 for the lords of Cabaret, known to be heretics and consorts of troubadours (also known heretics). It was the final refuge for the victims of the pope's Albigensian Crusade. Now they stand alone - against the same sky they saw 1000 years ago.

your focal point stands out nicely but by my personal preference it doesnt stand out enough, will just the gray bits. but love the angle and glad to see it.

Life is like an analogy.
A spectacular view and great explanation. Only one question...how did they get there?

~Let it be as it is desired~
A last stand at the top of the world. The story really adds to the shot, which is wonderful. Where were you when taking it, on another plateau?

The country has come to feel the same way when congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer. Will Rogers
The lords of Cabaret belonged to one of the sects of Christianity based on Bogomil dualism, and were in the 1100s branded heretics along with the entire people (known as Cathars) of the region by Pope Innocent III who declared a crusade to eradicate them. Few today have ever heard of this crusade, but if you read "The Da Vinci Code" you heard a tiny part of it. It involves the Grail Quest, and if you want to know more about it, I studied the history for three years, and did a photo shoot there in June of 2003. You can read all about it at my
website.

Reg <-> All our lives, from the moment we're born no one sees what we do through our eyes. When you take a picture though, all that changes. - Karly Kohler
Now theres an irony! Pope "Innocent" III, who wiped out so many people... this is a beautiful picture, and the story definitely adds alot. Makes me sad to think that we are still seeing the consequences of these crusades, so many years after the tragic events occurred...

I hold it true that thoughts are things; They're endowed with bodies, breath and wings:
And that we send them forth to fill the world with good results, or ill.
That which we call our secret thought speeds forth to earth's remotest spot, leaving it's blessings or it's woes like tracks behind it as it goes.
We build our future, thought by thought for good or for ill, yet know it not.
Yet so the universe was wrought .
Thought is another name for fate.
Choose then thy destiny and wait, for Love brings Love and Hate brings Hate. - Henry Van Dyke.
Modern day mullahs who declare jihad and issue fatwa against 'nonbelievers' seem to have taken a page out of Pope Innocent III's book. Plus ça change...

Weird but true: An armed robber attempted to hold up a packed gun shop. Minutes later, the hapless robber was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics. The subsequent autopsy revealed 23 gunshot wounds and ballistics identified rounds from seven different weapons.
How interesting to learn about this, great shot too!

The more difficult the obstacle, the stronger one becomes after hurdling it.
This is a wonderful shot and your description is perfect. Only...I doubt the sky 1000 years ago had quite as much smog...well I could be wrong, with all those wood fires about. Anyway with my interest in creating castles in Vue 5 Infinite, I found these inspiring.

Beautiful photo! I had no idea troubadors were considered heretics back then. This explains a lot about my musician (troubador) husband...

"If I dream I shall be real, or really myself..." Robert Penn Warren
Yeah. It's funny - they were actually spies for the Cathars. The pope knew it, and he had them killed whenever they were found. Yet today we think of them as simple musicians.
