Mystical ruins

I came upon the trail easily.  The French are great about having signs everywhere.  I was very psyched about the hike.  The air was crisp.  It was dawn - don't think I've been up and about this early.  I came upon this scene.  I thought that was Rennes le Chateau.  I thought I'd walk towards it - how romantic.  I ended up on a dead end trail but took really cool pictures of the sky and these ruins.  Later in the day I'd see that there is a mansion built next to the ruins now.  For some reason I got goosebumps whenever I saw these ruins.  I used this picture for the cover of my photo book.
