Walk to the Monastery of l'Annonciade - the Abandoned Shrine

Most of the shrines were restored during the 20th century... but obviously some weren't.

  1. It is always very exciting to explore such places. A surprise will always pop up and an interesting photograph too! Cheers!

  2. "He also serves who only stands and waits..." These are beautifully gracious in their neglect, particularly through your lens.

  4. Brattcat, such beautiful phrasing I want to steal it.

    I tend to like unrestored ruins the best. This whole walk is lovely.

  5. Maybe the passing pilgrim can mentally insert someone of her own choosing in the empty shrine ...
