Bonjour Chris,

J'ai eu le grand plaisir de visiter cet endroit et comme c'était l'époque de l'argentique on épargnait la pellicule parce que cela coûtait très cher, surtout pour capter d'aussi beaux détails.

Amicalement

Hello Chris,

What an attractive ceiling and I love how you have managed to give it depth and form by including the golden, splaying supports.
The colours are pleasingly natural and and perfectly colour co-ordinated.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Chris,
Wonderful 3D details of this arched ceiling. Looking at your note, this place has impressive history spannig over 1000 years and two religions. I wonder what this very place has looked on different centuries.
