Cette superbe perspective en angle magnifie les superbes chapiteaux sculptés, et la lumière est très belle pour le relief.......magnifique prise de vue, Jean-Claude !

Avec ton commentaire , c'est un vrai document photographique Un album photos comportant photos et textes sur les églises et abbayes de ton coin de pays (et d'ailleurs) serait surement intéressant (curieux de voir ce qu'aurait donné cette photo en noir et blanc)

I wonder how long it took to build that? It's a shame we seem to have lost the dedication and patience to build things like this now. I doubt there will be anything left of the 21st century a thousand years from now.

Ces pierres agencées et façonnées de la main de l'homme, ont à elles-seules une histoire et sont un témoignage qui ne change pas avec le temps qui passe. Une magnifique photo, techniquement parfaite, Jean-Claude !
