[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 825793, member: 53455"] [B]An esoteric castle[/B] There is not much left of the lordly Mediæval castle of Simiane in Provence. The keep, built around 1200, is still standing and is famous among Mediævalists for its splendid decoration. This is the rotunda ceiling of the top room, a room so strangely designed that a consensus about its true purpose has never been reached: purely decorative, semi-religious, esoteric? Lots of hypotheses, some of them quite fantastic, have been made. What is for certain is that a visit there will leave a long-lasting memory... Nikon Z7 II, Nikkor 19mm, ƒ/4 PC-E tilt-shift lens, manual focus. Gitzo tripod, Benro geared head. Natural light. [ATTACH type="full" alt="53238307695_8c7717ebba_o.jpg"]411895[/ATTACH] The top room of the keep. Notice the cleverly designed window/vent: concealed from outsiders, yet providing light and ventilation, perfect for extracting fumes... and so artistically designed! Same camera, lens and shooting conditions as above. [ATTACH type="full" alt="53236951472_5c382c3e24_o.jpg"]411896[/ATTACH] An example of the rather enigmatic sculpture in that room: why is this cleric looking at us so intently?
