Minervois
- Vineyards, Wind farms, and Ancient Capitelles - Natural wonders in
Languedoc
Today's
photos feature (July 4 2006)
Minervois is abuzz with cigales, the constant high pitch clicking
humming in the background, often with the sun high - the noise
becomes almost too much - as thousands of insects reach their
climax! The vines are green now, with grapes in a very green
state. Walking is heightened by the smells of thyme and other
herbs, - often coming across old shepherds stone huts - "Capitelles"
- to shelter from sun, storm, and night. The views of hill tops
across the Aude valley, summounted by aeolians - alien creatures
that have created wind farms - beautiful to view, stunning to
stand under.
