I decided I wanted to enjoy some fresh air one last time so I took out the car and drove some 100 miles around.
La Chaise-Dieu (The House of God) and it's abbey: small village, huge stone bulk
an outer corridor of said abbey
another aisle, somewhat darker
the old fortress of Polignac atop a forbidding cliff. My word, it's a lot more impressive on the spot
classic dungeon, can't get enough of those
hem, looks like the owner has been lazy of late, or dead maybe
a slit in the outer wall, any conjecture as to its shape?
the church of Polignac
those shoes look awful but they're great for hiking
Le Puy-en-Velay, traditional pilgrimage place with funny rocks rising in the very center of the town
attention virgin + child
I mean, of all places, why did they have to build a fucking church
there?
so this is called a
jasserie. It's the place where shepherds spend the summer months, making cheese and fucking goats
woooh
well that was supposed to be me posing behind a really awesome heap of cow dung, but then several scores of wanderers came by and I couldn't summon the guts to try again in front of them...
