Colm and I took a day off and roamed around the foothills of the Pyrenees.

An eye painted into the bottom of an airshaft in Salses Fortress near the Spanish border

The Thumb of Queribus Castle, an mountaintop Cathar castle .

Near the Grau de Maury, vines all the way to the mountains

Canagou, my favourite Pyrenee, this time from 100klms nearer than my terrace
