Abbaye de Trizay

I took the smaller roads back home from Rochefort this past summer, and stumbled upon a semi-ruin of a Cistercian abbey in Trizay, Vendée. There's always plenty of light (or at least some) at play in such places...

I have a feeling I'll get back there next summer...

Lovely shots but especially number 2.

They say photography is all about the light, and you have proved it here.

Thank you all, much appreciated.

Beautiful set, given me the inspiration to try mono on the Saxon/Norman Churches that i shot in colour 5 yrs ago.

There really is something about B&W isn't there? These images work so well. Lovely.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with Joe. And there is something indeed Kevin. Thank you both.
