St. Savoir View of the Cathedral. As Ned mentions it is hard to get far enough back to get a great picture - this one is three pics stitched together. |
|
|
St. Savior Laura in the babtistry - nobody digging around, but how cool is the lighting... |
|
|
The Cloister You can just make out Ysabel hiding behind a pillar on the left. |
|
|
The Cloister Laura meets Ysabel (but doesn't know it yet...) |
|
|
Ysabel |
|
|
La Tour Cesar Laura climbing toward the tower. I think we came up the opposite way as Ned. |
|
|
La Tour 20 weeks pregnant and still exploring! |
|
|
Aix-en-Provence A beautiful view of the city from the road down from the tower. Thunder starting to roll in and complete the setting... |
|
|
Entremont Not as mysterious by day, but we got locked out the night before instead of locked in! |
|
|
Mont Saint Victoire And in the foreground you can make out the Tower... |
|
|
Entremont- Tower - Mont St. Victoire Taken from the southwest entrance to entremont I couldn't resist trying to put all three in the same picture. |
|
|
Les Baux Overlooking the road - just before it goes into the Valley of Hell... |
|
|
Les Baux View from the Road...No bodies flying today (at least not here) |
|
|
Glanum Another beautiful location on a magnificent day. |
|
|
Glanum No Cadell, but the water is still dirty (-: |
|
|
Alyscamps On the way into the spooky place the wife insisted I get in a picture. |
|
|
Alyscamps To add to the spookiness here a white dove flew up out of the mass grave right over our heads as we walked towards the pigeon infested ruins. |
|
|
Alyscmaps Ysabel's overnight lockout? |
|
|
Alyscamps I think Dave jumped the fence right about here so can't put the book down... |
|
|
Alyscamps Dave's view before entering the fray... |
|
|
Villa Gallici Laura reading Ysabel by the pool of Villa Gallici (our Sans Souci (-: ). Tomorrow she finishes the last 40 pages at the top of St. Victoire. |
|
|
St. Victoire - The Ascent Laura and our 20 week old baby made it halfway up before the doctor's heart rate limit mandated she finish the story on the slopes of St. Victoire - I had the pleasure of reliving my cross country days (go Williams College) and further immersing myself in Neds shoes with a run up the slopes to the top. |
|
|
St. Vicoitre - The Chapel Upon finishing the switchbacks you are welcomed by this courtyard exactly as described by Ned. |
|
|
St. Victoire - The Chapel The last few steps from the switchbacks... |
|
|
St. Victoire - The Garagai Well hidden - I almost walked right underneath the entrance to this cave. Good thing I had read about it (-: |
|
|
St. Victoire - The Garagai Looking down into the cave. Being alone and hearing what sounded like a mad hornets nest at the bottom I only got about halfway down into the cave for the next shot. |
|
|
St. Victoire - The Garagai Looking out from the cave into the nothingness that defined Phelan and Cadell's final moments (at least for now...) |
|
|
St. Victoire - The Garagai A view of what the mountain looks like underneath the opening of the cave. |
|
|
St. Victoire - The Chapel Climbing down from the garagai... |
|
|
St. Victoire - The Chapel The quaint little hut where Melanie and Ned took shelter - there were even some roll away pads in cubbies just in case a straggler should chance by... |
|
|
St. Victoire From the top looking north you get a good look at what Ned came up. This picture is taken looking out from about where the cave/garagai is. |
