Brick said: I like an arch

The Abbey of Lorsch is a UNESCO world heritage site, close to Worms in the Rhine Valley, about 60km south of Frankfurt. It was an important monasteries during the Carolingian times.  Through one of the arches of the “kingdom hall” one can look upon the monastery’s church.

Three arches, facing north and south, lead into the main room.

There are innumerable ways to play with these arches and their vistas. This time I preferred to try out desaturation.
