Wonderful sweeping views. I can imagine standing there right with you.

Nice they left him here as a warning to others.

Those doorway framed shots are so pretty.

Looks like he drank some and the inevitable happened.

I have an old photo a friend sent from back in the early or mid 80s that a friend who was teaching me rock climbing sent years ago, but I can't figure out how to load it here.

Interesting to see both Romanesque and Gothic arch styles together in one structure.

A modern contrivance, in the Minimalist tradition? "Suggestive of a belfry yet open and mostly invisible, implying the impermanence of existence" or some such explanatory tripe.

Gives new meaning to the description "barrel-chested".

A result of strong prevailing winds, maybe?

It looks somehow like a U.S. Post Office from the 1930s, or the upper works of a steamboat or tugboat. Or maybe I'm just tired and susceptible to hallucinations, after staying up well into the wee hours to watch Artemis blast into space.

The density of the surrounding greenery almost makes this seem to be an abandoned building, being taken back by Nature. Your shot above, of the chateau and this church, first put the idea in my head.

I have never been that daring!

Or more and warmer clothing!

Our oldest son and his wife’s passion. The pictures they send are spectacular and scare the living daylights out of me.

Been there, done that. It always makes me feel an idiot, but Keith gets it and comes to my rescue, like Scott. One thing I have found helps a bit is to turn around and look back at where I have been, because that will be the view on the return trip. Works well in a huge parking lot, not so well in a maze of narrow cobbled streets in an old European town!
