A back alley that reached a footpath leading to the village's fortified walls. Remains of the wall can be seen in the top of the image.

Taken right next to the entrance of the Gellone monastery, established in 806.

Thanks for looking,
santiago

Intriguingly detailed, complex and covering an entirety of tonal range.

Many thanks, Keith and Ray
This is really quite a place to spend some time. The village as its surroundings.

Very well seen, captured and presented. Every place my eye goes in the image there is something interesting to see. This is a complex but not overly busy image. It keeps peeling back for me. I like it more each time I have seen it. Thanks for sharing.

Ken, Linda, Shutterspy, thank you.

Great contextual scene. The only thing I think would make it better is to have a live subject, an animal, a shadow of a person, or even a person in the staircase.

Ilya, many thanks for your observation. I remember waiting and waiting for people to move out of the frame. I always respond first to solitude. But in retrospect, and after reading your comment, I realize it would be so easier, more interesting, to shoot both, frames with nobody in them, and frames with presence within. That would be a much more complete approach, so thank you.

Thank you, Mado and Lazlo !

Lazlo, yes the village is still and very much inhabited, as there are Cistercian monks in the abbey.
