NF-SOOC-2015 Day 25: Church of St. Vivien, Saintes
Saintes is blessed with the wonderful Cathedral of St. Pierre; the Abbatiale aux Dames and many other fine churches: some extraordinary from the outside; some extraordinary from the inside... some both. The church of St.Vivien is very unremarkable outside and the inside has a sort of faded glory which I loved. This is a shot, in the dimly lit interior, of the altar and high altar... viewing on black is nice, I think.
The light and clarity on the maternal figure is special. St. Vivienne? Mary? I really like the ancient feel of the space. After my week... can I meditate here, please?
