The solitary remains of what looks like a side entrance of the destroyed abbey struck a cord with me setting there in an open field with the hill in the background on an overcast day

The abbey is a must see, must photograph place. The vaulted ceiling stands well over 180 feet and the brownish pink sandstone and marble architecture make for some great images.

Small chapel at Solesmes Abbey

Just couldn't get over the beauty of this small chapel at the abbey. It was so serene and the light was perfect. Again, the abbey is well touristed and it took a little patience to get this image without people.

The cloister of the abbey of Monreale (Sicily, Italy)

Monks' dormitory and frater, and the splendid cloister, completed about 1200 is well preserved, and is one of the finest Italian cloisters both for size and beauty of detail now extant. It is about 16 m², with pointed arches decorated with diaper work, supported on pairs of columns in white marble, 216 in all, which were alternately plain and decorated by bands of patterns in gold and colors, made of glass tesserae, arranged either spirally or vertically from end to end of each shaft.
