Monastère de Beaufort - Brittany

The Monastère de Beaufort is a convent housing and run by around 30 'moniales' (nuns) dominicales. We were there today with the parish funeral team to reflect on the service we provide to the community. Late afternoon as we took a short break, Mother Nature presented me with this dramatic view.

BoB of course.

You must have done something right! You were well rewarded. Plus the composition is spot on, as ever. Fav. ( Any chance of moving in closer for some architectural detail?)

@lostphojo Thanks David - this image is already cropped and in any case, the real architectural joys are inside the building... which I didn't photograph as a matter of respect.

When I first saw this, I wanted more "darkness" in the sky but then seeing it on black I realised it doesn't need anything else. Fabulous scene.

[Richard Sayer]

@kwiksilver Thank you Gillian - funnily enough, as first posted, the sky was much darker but it felt unbalanced so I post-edited it with Picmonkey.

[Jean]

Wonderful composition - love, love the clouds. BoB!

This is, indeed, quite glorious!

Indeed @kali66 has spotted the normally elusive angels. What a nice bonus to that dramatic sky.
