Next month I travel to Sedona in Arizona with its impressive red-rock
landscape, very similar to the area near the village of Peyrolles where I live
in the Haute Vallée de l’Aude. On a clear sunny afternoon a couple of weeks
ago, I went up to there to do some sketching in preparation for my upcoming trip,
when I hope to do a travel sketchbook.
This week by contrast, the rain has resulted in much more
muted colours. The abandoned Chateau de Cazemajou, which sits on the hill
overlooking Couiza, has been tempting me to sketch it for years. Last Wednesday it
was raining but I had an hour to spare so I found a place to park the car, in
the tiny container park next to the railway track, from where the view of the
chateau was crisscrossed by telegraph wires and power lines.
