There were several of these catapults...
.....at this fortress. They could throw rocks weighing over 200 lbs at invading enemies. Their accuracy wasn't very good though, but they could throw up to 10 rocks per hour.
From the top you can.....
....see miles down the canyon.
From the top of this fortress...
....you can see the many vineyards in the area.
The grapes ....close up.....
.....they are not ripe yet....still tart. I had to try them.
The body....
....along with torture tools. Must have been a fun place to work??
In the bottom of the Chateau de la Batiaz......
.....lies one of the enemy fighters who was tortured to death. (so the story goes)
A street vendor applying his trade...
....in Berne, Switzerland. He was juggling 7 balls and making some change.
