L’ Église Saint-Benoît d’ Aizenay... by vignouse

L’ Église Saint-Benoît d’ Aizenay...

Today we motored down into the Vendée region of France and ended up in a new spot for us - the thriving little town of Aizenay.

This is a a view of the nave and choir of the splendid church of St. Benoit. There are at least four different kinds of light sources in the church and all at low level so I resolved the colour balance problems by choosing to render this in B&W which displays the splendid stonework to its best advantage I feel.
Beautiful shot. Lovely in B/W.

I read a novel last year about the building of one of the cathedrals. I could imagine it looking like this created with skill and love.
