wonderful trip
Love the castles!

Thank you Armando.
many castles in france, many in ruins.
The ones i show here are from the early 12 hundreds from the Cathars.
The Albigensian Crusade, when the pope and the king of france teamed together
with the aid of zealous mercenaries to eradicate the heretics, killing many thousands.
and grab the land and its riches.
All in the name of religion.

Chateau de Saissac

Armando since i travel by car and caravan i take a few bags, a think tank airport essential and retrospective 10 and 20, a tripod and a bag for some gear for possible maintenance. My Zf not a back-up camera this time, my z lenses 20, 24, 35 , 50, 85, 105 and f mount 300mm f/4 and voigtländer 180 f/4 etc, etc. Last but not least, the Z 40mm f/2 a handy little lens!
