Le Massif du Canigou est un massif des Pyrénées françaises dans le département des Pyrénées-Orientales. Il culmine à 2784 mètres d'altitude avec le pic du Canigou. On le voie depuis le village de Vinassan par jour de grand beau temps, ici en Mai.

Canigou(infra rouges) vu du Bau des Vespres(1010m,montagne Sainte-victoire)

Prise avec un Nikon Défiltré et un filtre infra rouge ne laissant passer que les infra rouges au dessus de 1000nm.cela permet de voir le Canigou à 280km du Bau des Vespres alors qu'avec un Nikon normal on n'aurait rien vu.addition de 7 photos.Dimanche 21 Mai 2017 à 12h59

Image presque irréelle aujourd’hui du Canigou, comme posé sur les étangs de Leucate. Quelle belle journée !

 

A gauche la Lune est sur le Puig sec(2665m) ensuite l'image d'après Puig Sec et Canigou(2784m) et à droite Pic du Canigou(2784m).

le Canigou(2784m) à 283,4km de la montagne des Ubacs(697m) au Nord de Vauvenargues le 13/12/2017.Les couleurs un peu bizarres car j'ai utilisé la fonction égaliser.

Silhouette du Canigou vers 3h du matin.

ce Jour là réfraction était faible,photo retouchée pour montrer ce que ça aurait pu donner en cas de réfraction normale soit à peu près la même chose que depuis le sémaphore de la Ciotat(environ toute la partie du Canigou au dessus de 2460m).Au premier plan les crêtes du Faron.

Depuis le Baou Satger(612m)sur le sentier bleu Imoucha, la Lune passe derrière le Canigou(2784m) distant de 276,6km.L'azimut du coucher du lune est de 66,05°(au niveau de la mer)compté à partir du sud l'azimut avec le Canigou est de 66,86°,en fait L'azimut du coucher de Lune est de 66,95° car on est à 612m d'altitude et la Lune se couche un peu plus au nord que si on était au niveau de la mer.Réunion de 3 photos pour montrer tout ce qu'il était possible de voir.

Le 7 Novembre 2013 depuis une Colline à 454 m au sud de Simiane-Collongue la Méditerranée bien nette grâce au Mistral,avec tout à fait à droite le Canigou(2784m) à 262,3 km de distance.

Depuis les hauteurs du village de Saint-Marc-Jaumegarde le Canigou à 275,9km,on remarque dans le même alignement que le Pic le radar de Vitrolles à 25,7km et juste à côté du radar sur sa droite le haut de la Tour de César(427m) à 4,3km.

Canigou et coucher de soleil

> 40 km, 2500 vertical. Uff.

An oratorium here is recorded already in 996. Count Guifred Cabreta, grandson of Wilfred the Hairy (a person I was interested in since ages. We will "meet" him later) donated land and funds for the erection of a monastery in atonement for the murder of his own son.

 

The abbey was built around the older oratorium and already 1009 a church was consecrated and dedicated to Saint Martin by the Bishop of Elne, who was Count Guifred´s brother. In the document a monk named Sclua is mentioned as the builder. Sclua may have been, what was later called an architect.

 

In 1012 the relics of Saint Gauderique were transferred to Saint-Martin, adding importance to the place.

 

Following a medievial tradition (eg William of Gellone, Bernard II, Lord of Lippe) Count Guifried later left his wife, quit his worldy (sinful) life and entered the Benedictian convent here as a monk. He died at this monastery in 1049.

 

Shortly after that the importance of the monastery dwindeled dramatically. An earthquake ruined the monastery in 1428. The rebuilding took decades.

 

The small, remote convent was later threatend by food-shortage as well as by gangs of smugglers and raiders, who filled the frontier area with terror, the monastery was secularized. In 1781 the last five monks and the abbot left the buildings. The complex fell into disrepair and were used as a stone quarry by local home-builders.

 

In 1902 the bishop of Elne and Perpignan bought the ruins and started a pretty radical restauration. Some buildings were even added, to accomodate visitors. In 1922 a number of capitals could be bought back, that had once belonged to the cloister and "got lost" after the French Revolution.

 

Even if this is not "original" in many aspects, even if it may "lack some character", like some authors wrote, it is a wonderful complex, and as Marcel Durliat wrote, a church "premier art roman méridional", as it is older than most of the other romanesque buildings in Southern France.

 

In 1922 a number of capitals "returned home", after they had spent about a century in a villa in Vernet-les-Bains. It was known, that two cloisters had existed, similar to Elne. The lower one was built within the 11th, the upper one within the 12th century. As the exact place of the capitals could not be found out anymore, and only one cloister got (partly) reconstructed, an open gallery was erected.

 

There are some capitals, made from reddish marble cut in quarries near Villefranche-de-Conflent (14kms north), are younger (12th), have a different geometry and show a totally different iconography, not using the well known patterns. These carvings are "storytelling", but in most cases I could not find the stories that are told. Even Marcel Durliat does not offer an explanation.

 

A nicely carved human face in the center. Below this is a very unique structure. As far as I can see, there is a (small) person with a round face, wearing a hood, smiling (?), both arms folded in front of his stomach, standing on top of a pillar. A statue?

Two large animals are at the corners. To the left a grinning dog (?). On the right a very damaged animal wearing a mitra. This is stunning, as a mitra was (and still is) the headdress of a bishop. So this animal may stand for bishop! How bizarre! Is the little monk, balancing on the pillar triumphing over a bishop, who is a dog? I will upload another shot of this capital later

French-Catalan Pyrenees, July 2015

These carvings are "storytelling", but in most cases I could not find the stories that are told. Even Marcel Durliat does not offer an explanation.

 

The same capital, seen on the previous upload, now focussed on that strange "bishop". This is in deed very weird. I cannot make out the animal. Durliat describes this as a "bisexual, leering creature". Anyway, the creature (see the hands and feet!) does not wear the mitra correctly, as it is turned to the side. To the right a dog hangs upside down, protruding a very long tongue.

 

There has been a conflict in 1114, when this convent lost it´s independence to the abbey of Sainte-Marie de Lagrasse, what the monks never accepted, so that monks from Lagrasse in 1162 even attacked this abbey with the help of mercenary soldiers, looting the monastery, killing at least one person and beating up, whomever the could find.

So there is a theorie, that these grotesque capitals were carved, after that conflict was settled (around 1170) - and Saint-Martin-du-Canigou had won the independence back.

Une visibilité remarquable ce 20 Août 2015 grâce au flux de Nord(Mistral,Tramontane),si bien que le Canigou(2784m) à 264km est bien visible du Terril de Gardanne(388m),la pente(environ 40°) est très raide pour monter au sommet du terril mais elle n'est pas longue.15 secondes de pose pour cette image.

...c'est l'absence de lumière qui, cette fin de jour là, m'a obligé à quitter l'endroit... Comment me dire: "Il est temps de rentrer", puisque là, j'étais déjà chez moi?
