Well-preserved walls with arched portals, like this medieval Porte de Rous, and centuries-old buildings, Cordes-sur-Ciel is an enchanting hilltop village crowning a steep promontory in the northern reaches of the Tarn département in France. The village was built in 1222 by the Cathars to protect themselves from papal crusaders.

'The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.' ~ Marcel Proust, writer, Paris, 1871-1922. My photographs are not merely a record of what was before my camera, but rather my visualization of the place and time as I remember discovering it, be it a particular mood, impression, or ambiance. These images may bring back memories of your own travels or they might inspire, you in some small way to venture off and maybe discover exciting, new landscapes of your own. But in the meantime, consider placing one of these photographs on your wall as a window to foreign lands. A note to those who purchase one of my images, you have my deepest thanks. I am honored that you have chosen one of my photographs...
