One fourth of a cloister left, however walking it up and down I felt so at peace within me.

I must connect your beautiful image to the last commentary I made on Steady Hand's Grazio posting.
I am hearing a peaceful song in my mind, and this is a wonderful place to walk while I am in contemplation. Your presentation makes me want to be there.

Oh, I really like this, Santiago. The sense of meditation here is palpable! Wonderful work.

This is beautiful Santiago! I love it. I can almost hear the echo of footsteps somewhere down the corridor. Perfect capture of tone and light!

Wonderful capture. Resembles an illustration. The light, shadow and architecture give it a rhythm as soft and regular as a heartbeat.

Hello Santiago. At first I thought this image was too-centered, but upon looking it longer, I feel that it was the right choice. The image seems like it is almost a mirror, with the similarly shaped ornaments on the wall, except the left has those delicate openings while the right is just plain and flat. The textures and feel of the image is incredible. As I am studying for a final and killing time here on FM, I do really feel at peace as well.

Take care,
eric

Beautifully balanced image technically. tones and conversion spot on. Seems to also have a lot of intangibles to it already commented upon. Well done.

Like the almost drawing like feeling of this picture. Wouldn't have looked better any other way.

Beautiful. I find the light and the steps at the very end intriguing. There is air of mystery to them, a kind of a promise of something on the other side. It calls to come and see for yourself.

Thanks very much, Tim. Glad some of the peace reached you, too.

Many thanks, Barry. The place was empty, fortunately. I don't know what I would have felt otherwise.

It's a bit sad that the cloister isn't whole any longer, but realizing that even a part can sometimes transcend the original entire thing is somehow reassuring. Thanks for commenting, Albert.

Beautiful imagery Santiago. Don't have much more to say than this - simply beautiful. I enjoy it immensely.

The monks used to walk, either chanting, or in silent meditation. In any case, the footsteps would be heard, and I can imagine that somehow even tody they can be heard. Thanks for your comment, Morgan.

Thank you, Tom. Sure, there are many stories engraved in that old stone. The purpose for which they used it to build such buildings goes beyond sadness. Even today. Fortunately.

Thank you Eric. Yes, both sides of the cloister are different, and I tried to give each side the same weight in the image. The rock there is very bright, this has direct consequences on how textures can be rendered.

You are right, Lazlo. I always wondered how the architects did in those times to lay down their ideas on paper.

Like an engraving by Durer.

Silence and solitude is all we need to reacquaint with ourselves. I’m glad to know you got a peaceful frame of mind.
