The View

The view from Les Baux, Provence
Posting again from afar – this time France – the Provencal region.  This view is from Les Baux en Provence taken from the castle ruins.

There are lots of walled cities, castles and buildings here precariously perched on the top of rocky outcroppings.

This building has become a museum and was originally a church.Les Baux en Provence Catapult

Other constructions perched on the site are castle and fort ruins to keep folks with weapons like these from invading.
