St Martin-de-Londres, Languedoc, France. September 2003.

So many places in the south of France give me the feeling that intense human habitation over millennia has produced buildings that, although separate from the landscape, grow out of it. Nothing in this picture came from more than a few miles away from this place, but only humans could have cut and arranged the stone to create something that, with the addition of the extraordinary natural light of the region, becomes magical.
