... the A61 in a big sweeping right curve and merge with the A9. Perpignan is not far, in fact it is too close as what turned out to be the last fuei station has has just wizzed by.

Because I don't want to be a random point-and-shooter, but a realy photographer who actually does see my subject, I have adopted what I call "mindful photography".

The famous plaza overlooking the entrance is fringed with snakelike benches covered in beautifully hand-worked tile mosaics and supported by organic, white columns beneath giving the impression of the inside of a Baleen whales’ mouth. The steps leading to the gates and guard house rippled with water features, crawling with tile mosaic beasties and ...
