Description
Photograph made with my Nikon D70S and a Tamron lens 18-200 mm.
Post-work with Nik Color Efex Pro 2.0 (for the sepia colors) and frame with Photoshop 7
This Shot has been taken in the ruins of the Villers Abbey, at 30 km of Bruxels, where I gone with Michel, in Belgium, 2 weeks ago. Here you'll discover 850 years of daily life and history by strolling among the ruins of one of the most beautiful architectural sites in Europe. (GiMi53)
It was a very interesting place, with so many parts to discover, inside and outside. And this day, we where lucky.... the sun was with us !

Looks so cold and uninviting..great shot with the light and shadows playing on each other
Beautiful image. I love the textures and the toning. What a wonderful place. I hope to see more of these images you took that day.
A beautiful picture, with a fine range of tones. The Cistercians began as an order dedicated to simplicity, and their architecture reflected this. You know this, of course, but the comment may be helpful to others. Cliff.

My eyes can feel the stones, my nose can smell the age and my brain can see the vampires crawling away from he toes of the sun into the safe shadow of the arch. This picture enfolds the brain in texture and longing.
