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

I vaguely remember this, Viv. 🙂 That’s twice in the past 2 days I’ve been reminded of Meredith! Her posts were a thing of beauty. I must visit and see if she’s returned yet. She had a newer blog, didn’t she but I’m not sure if it’s current?

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. 🙂
