By Thursday it had got so hot that we were running into the shadows to escape the heat. We drove to Albi, which is about 2 hours away, to see the cathedral. It is probably one of the most famous in the whole world. Behind the altar is a gigantic fresco showing the Day of Judgement with all the bad people being sent down into Hell. The idea was to remind people of the kind of terrible fate that awaited them if they led a sinful life. This photo is just one tiny bit of the whole thing.
