What a beautiful place and what a beautiful way of presenting these photos to us. This could be on the cover of a travel magazine. It's just gorgeous. The building is lovely, the stonework and beautiful architecture, wow. THank you so much for showing us such a pretty place, inside and out. I just love how you got the building up above the trees, that's perfect. Thank you so much. Verena
