A monastery in Germany (Rüdesheim) were the monks several hundred years ago lived a life in celibacy and contemplative peace. Maybe you can feel the quiscent athmosphere created by the symmetry of the building an the light shining through the open windows. But considering the fact that they also was a wineproducer, maybe it wasn't always that peaceful and innocent..

This one caught my eye probably because of the darkness. I agree with Katef on the mood this photo inspires. Kudos on this one.

If you stare at this picture long enough ... you can start to hear the Gregorian Chants.

Great shot Jens.

The world is changed. I feel it in the water. I feel it in the earth. I smell it in the air. Much that once was, is lost, for none now live who remember it. -Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring

As a photograph, I love this. Superb. Fabulous symmetry. Great lighting.

But to me, the mood is just a bit sinister.

Art is the perception of the creator. Meaning is the perception of the viewer. acceptance is the perception of society.

What a very serene picture. You can feel the age and history of the monastry, and almost hear the echos of your footsteps. One of my very favourite pictures so far. I adore old buildings, and this is just stunning.
