Such a beautiful place. It's like lace on a wedding dress, delicate layers of detail.

Both photos are beautiful but I especially like the top one, looking through the delicate tracery to more elaborate stonework beyond.

I can never tire of this wonderful building! Am I wrong or the stone has been cleaned recently?

Like tiers on a cake. The lacy style seems unusual to me.

So beautiful. All the details like lace. Excellent shots. I like the way you framed the Monastary dome with an arch. MB
