Notre Dame de Paimpont

She's very much a Grand Dame being over 600 years old... and a little worse for wear as a result!

I'm in the middle of a very busy week at Paimpont Abbey where I'm the Sacristan so for a few days my images are likely to come from there, taken after I've closed up.

This is for NF-SOOC-September 2021 which you can read all about here: https://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/45487/nf-sooc-september-2021

There are learning points galore to be gained from this image... it can only get better!

BoB!

Love the shadows, really shows off her elegance.

A wonderful sculpture. The shadows are cool.

[Jane Pittenger]

Grand dame for sure

Wonderful lighting that looks super on black

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh, but her age makes her so very special, whatever her condition. Lovely image.

[Julie Duncan]

Fascinating!

[Pat Knowles]

Beautiful & obviously a well loved statue in your church. I love the long candles instead of our stumpy nightlights!

[Richard Sayer]

@happypat Thank you Pat - the stumpy nightlights are in the middle! They do last five times as long as the candles but they are not so elegant!

Nice light and shadows
