 If you didn't know already, a cairn is the proper name for those carefully balanced rock towers one can see cleverly built in various places.  This image, in particular, is said to be on a cliff because the green countryside you see just past the stone tower is actually miles away and over 1,000 stair steps down a sheer cliffside.  This cairn was photographed at the 12th century chapel, Notre Dame de Beauvoir, in Moustiers Sainte Marie, France.  A monastery carved high into sheer cliffs by monks to escape the crusades.  It is said that humans have sought shelter in these caves since 30,000 BC.  It is a site of pilgrimage as the village is known as one of sacred character and the chapel itself is many many flights of hand cut stone steps on a jagged mountainside above the village.
