The Wanderlust Gene posts wonderful photo-montages of exotic places. This morning, her theme was What’s Up There, so I had a go at doing something similar from the ever-fascinating Carcassonne.
I have a passion for the myriad shapes of roof throughout France, and specially in Paris, so I’ll wrap this up with a couple of French haiga:

Under the roof of the Louvre remains unforgettable glory,
but on the roof as well, there are unbelievable forms

Brilliant pictures – looks like a beautiful place!
amazing pics
Loved the last haiga !
It’s a place I always wanted to visit, Viv. I guess there’s still time. Love your montage. I thought it was going to be a gallery when I clicked on it, so I have no idea how you did this. Well done.
I did it in Picassa, where, all my pictures are stored from both computers. They give you the option of making a slide show or montage, with your choice of spacing between pics, and the chance to move them around, choose the central pic etc. I hope to get better at it with practice.
I spent three days at Carcassonne this past summer during the crazy heat but it didn’t diminish its grandeur and majesty. I particularly like your haiku in French of the Louvre, very aptly put.
Oh Viv – now them’s roofs! Really great to see your fabulous Carcassonne roofs – Brava! And in French, how beautiful your haiko sounds
I’m flattered, and so happy you decided to post these
Love the juxtaposition of old and new in that last one.
