Description
It always seems easier to destroy than to build
But nothing good can grow on a bloody field...
We are all witnesses of our own end
When ruins and pain mark out our land...
.°.
This is once again Le Château de La Lieude, close to Bédarieux, Southern France.
During 12th and 13th centuries, in all our Occitan area, thousands of innocent Cathares have been murdered, or burnt at dreadful stakes, just because of small differences in their religious and philosophical approach of life. South of France will always remind, and those proud ruins are the only witnesses of these unbelievable dramas...
History shows us everyday that we easily forget the lessons of the past... The torturers remain, just the places change...
.°.
I love this place; the light and mood are changing each and every minute; summer tones bring here a natural contrast between the red earth, the green Mediterranean plants and the deep blue sky...
No Photoshop on the colours, just a little bit of contrast and clarity, noise reduction, frame and signature with Paint Shop Pro 9...

So now I know more of the history of this ancient place. Terrible.
Yes, sadly, the lessons the past teaches are often ignored and suffering continues ...
