Welcome to the abandoned monastery..... a place where for years no one has been except curious villagers. Sometimes you are passing through and find a place where you can beautifully photograph the beauty of an abandoned place. Normally you just walk past this door, this door immediately caught my attention. The curtains that are still hanging on the door and are half decayed, but still give you the feeling that you are welcome, because the doors are wide open.... what do you find when you actually walk in?
I fell in love with this picture and it shows up even better in black and white than in color. You just keep looking at this picture....
Photo was taken in the Ardennes, Belgium, fall 2021. It was taken at a place that used to house a monastery, and later a nursing home. In the garden you will find a wooden cross, which for some people gives a sense of security, but for others is an addition to an already special place.
