Mount Canigou from our hotel in Prades

For those who think that PJ and I are really "suffering for our art" taking these shots of

the Romanesque churches, this will give you pause. We are in the first floor (second

floor in the US) of the Castel Rose, a beautiful manse, and this was our balcony view

as we arrived about 6pm.

...I was in Prades at Easter and it was cold and snowing - I had to abandon my attempt to see St-Martin-du-Canigou when the roads started to get icy. Look out for Eglise St-Pierre with its southern Gothic wrought-iron belfry in Prades. You are also very close to the the Gorges de Galamus - after balancing on a 15' ladder you may actually enjoy the spectacular scenery!

Just remembered, I'm off to Prague on Tuesday for 5 days of photography - I don't feel quite so jealous now! Cheers! RickDB

You guys are killin' me! ;>) Beautiful locale and lighting conditions. Have fun, you two; and keep feeding us starving peasants these wonderful little morsels! Cheers! Chris

... the fun is just getting started. See the new picture today of Saint Martin du Canigou ... Rick, you won't believe the day we spent there! Phenomenal stuff.

Glad you guys are having a great time surrounded by inspiration and beauty at the turn of every corner. Are your cameras running out of memory yet? ;)
