Now gains the struggling light upon the skies,
And far away the the glistening vapours sail,
Down rough steeps the local vinter hyes,
First warmth in brightness is seeping through the vale.
A painting with unique, enduring qualities.
Carcassonne paintings, one of three.
Something mysterious happened during the painting of this picture. It has been literally touched by new light.
Following along reconnaissance driving and walking around the Carcassonne district, I selected this composition.
The result is this painting that is immediately recognisable yet with many abstract passages and fine details so it leaves much to engage your imagination and your stimulate emotions.
The Historic Fortified City of Carcassonne.
Carcassonne has pre Roman origins with a part mythical, almost fairy tale story to tell to you with a memorable ambiance you will sense in your heart.
I’ve been so fortunate as to be able to visit Carcassonne and it’s surroundings many times.
Carcassonne stands beside the Aude river in the wide Aude valley with it’s inviting cheque patterns of vineyards, sunflower fields and a rich history which still has echoes of ancient Gauls, Romans, Cathars, all have contributed to the garden of Europe that l’Occitane undoubtably is today.
Carcassonne in its present form it is an outstanding example of a medieval fortified town and UNESCO World Heritage listed.
The tale of Carcassonne include stories of siege and an heroic defence ably lead by the first lady of the city, of the mysterious Cathars, exterminated as corrupter’s of the Roman Catholic doctrine by ‘crusaders’, and not least of it’s remarkable preservation by far sighted folk in the 19 th century.
Visit Carcassonne and you are in for an unforgeable experience and will be following in the footsteps of many a traveller and tourist, including a very long list of distinguished people, a list as varied as Sir Winston Churchill, Mick Jagger, Mark Twain and Walt Disney.
You are unlikely to be disappointed if you visit Carcassonne!
The Black Mountains.
There are times in winter when the mountains do appear black and white.
Les Montagne Noire are now mostly a Park National home to many remote and surprising areas where you can still find a much older, old France, a region rich in history.
The Black Mountains rise 1,200m from the Toulouse plain, they have both rural charm and scenery to take your breath away, dappled forests and epic mountain lakes where the wooded slopes and pastures merge and separate.
Carcassonne Vines
do sit on a dusty plain, in wine terms, the western extremity of the Languedoc.
Try exploring this facinating city, enjoying the activities, shops and especially the very good, reasonably prices restaurants of the central plaza.
