Seeing Red in Roussillon

When I arrived in Roussillon, I felt a sort of deja vu. Although I'd never been there before, I've spent a lot of time in Sedona, Arizona, another unique place well known for it red-hued geology. Both towns are extremely popular with tourists and artists alike. But there the similarities end, because Roussillon has a medieval feel and flavor. Wandering down narrow streets and peeking through doorways, I chanced upon this small inner courtyard with its inviting rock stairway.

I've added a texture to enhance the effect of the natural ochre coloring.
