The Abbey of Cluny in Burgundy was the center of a major monastic movement in the Middle Ages. Its church was the largest Christian building in the world until St. Peter's Basilica was rebuilt in Rome in the 16th century. I shot that picture after a huge rain: it's amazing how you can paint the sky with Photoshop and the right Plugin.

He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the almighty. I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom i trust". Psalm 91: 1 and 2

Yikes! It's kind of creepy, but cool how you did the background. Sounds like an interesting place.

Itīs a beauty. I guess I have a weakness for orange skies :) Out of curiosity, what was the right plugin?

A very striking image and a good perspective to give the viewer an appreciation of the height of the place.
