Carcassonne

Oustide the Walls of Carcassonne, France

August, 2005

Carcassonne is a walled city in the south of France. With its double walls and 53 towers, in medieval times it was a military fortress-city between France and Spain.

There's a lovely landscape photo of the city here.

Who I Am

Sean: Southeast, United States; Name: Sean / Nationality: U.S.A. / Creed: Catholic / Philosophy: Gnomish wisdom for the most part; to the extent I’ve made a formal assessment, moderate realism / Passions: Faith, family, country; Irish and English folk music; reading and literature; Tolkien trivia; travel / Zodiac: Aries, Monkey, Gen-X / Maps are tools for making sense of the world as it presents itself to the senses. Keys give passage to the realm of knowledge and substance: they allow the mind to apprehend the workings behind what the senses detect. Clocks, calendars, and the like point the way to time, numbers, infinity, universals, eternity, the absolute, the immeasurable, the never-ending. All three are products of minds capable of thought, memory, and imagination. From sense to substance to permanence: because not everything is relative.
