The arches are so beautiful; even their colour is so deep and warm! A delightful place to see and be, I suppose. This is so nice to follow you with your journeys. :-)

Christian, this is a stunning photograph. Perfect in composition, lighting, captures the austerity of monastic life and the marvelous architectural detail. What a place! What an artistic photograph. Your presentation is also perfect, understated and matching the austerity contained in the photo. I also like the typography which is of monastic style. The whole package is beyond excellence. V
