Description

An interlude in my series on the fall. A photo I took in Aude (France) early September. The Aguilar castle is a Cathar castle. It is a castle dating perhaps from the twelfth century whose construction continues during the thirteenth and fourteenth century. Feudal castle in the hands of the family of Termes it becomes in the XIIIe century a royal fortress.(infos Wikipedia) Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200

J'aime bien la vue de ce très vieux château à contre-jour, avec seulement quelques touches de lumière du soleil matinal.........magnifique prise de vue, qui met bien en valeur l'isolement de la forteresse, Jean-Claude !

Cool shot of the castle ruins, JC. Once full of activity, lots of great history here. Wish it could tell stories of days past.

They certainly knew how to build in those days. But, poor old castle has seen better days for sure. Excellent capture--good lighting and POV.

Ces pierres semblent parler sur un passé, en particulier cette époque où les Cathares étaient puissants, et ce qu'ils ont laissé m'a toujours profondément fasciné. La photo que tu as faite de ce château renforce encore la beauté mystique de l'idéal cathare qui perdure à travers ces ruines si magnifiquement éclairées . Une excellente photo, Jean-Claude!
