Description

Thank you very much for your comments on "Villers Abbey (#1)" Villers Abbey's Hostelry This building was constructed in the 13th century to receive guests, providing food and warmth (from the large fire place) and lodging on the first floor. It bears witness to the obervance of the Rule of St Benedict, which commands that travellers and pilgrims be welcomed. When a new hostelry was built, the building was converted into a brewery. Picture coming directly from my camera (Nikon D70s); no postwork (except framing) Thank you very much Nathalie to teach me how to shot in difficult light conditions ! Take also a look at Nathalie's beautiful image inside the same building : "Villers Abbey I" !

Quel magnifique endroit, et une tr belle photo Michel, en fait tu aurais du la poster avant la mienne... celle-ci est une vue d'ensemble, qui rend bien toute la majestde cette architecture. Les colonnes et les voutes sont extraordinaires. Avec la mienne on arrivait sur les deux dernies colonnes... Tu sais quoi ? et bien je suis contente de nous deux, nous avons des photos tr complentaires, des regards diffents sur un men endroit. Mais chaque photo est une otion nouvelle. Et Jean-Pierre parfaitement raison, il se dage de ces lieux des otions et des sensations tr particulies et tr fortes. Et puis au delde la photo... c'est un tr agrble souvenir ! Bon week-end Michel. Plein de gros bisous. V
