This is a church in an abandoned boarding school in France with a whole history behind it. The sun's rays through the fire glass made for a colourful spectacle. Again, I received a lot of praise at my first exhibition. This large boarding school is situated in a picturesque village in France. It was built just before WWII for catholic girls with integrated chapel on the 3rd floor. During the war it was occupied by the German army, until the American allied forces took the building. After the war the school reopened and it was expanded many times, at it's peak there where 600 students present. The number of students started to decline as they became more interested in science & technology. The school finally closed around the year 2000. The real gem was the chapel still in good condition with it's huge stained glass windows, the coloured lightbeams entering the building where amazing.
