Been to my beloved abbey yesterday. In Pontigny. Whenever we're in this area, we go there. Just for the atmosphere. Pictures I've had more than enough of already. And yet always different. Once there was a group of cyclists who spontaneously started singing a song, so goosebumps in such an abbey. Another time you have a beautiful ray of sunlight through the huge stained glass windows. This time I had a private guide... at an appropriate distance. Monsieur was 89 and lives in a nearby village. He has been coming to the abbey on a regular basis since he was 11. What I hoped for today was that there would be sunflowers around the abbey. Well there are ? Only not enough in bloom yet, inside it is always a party for a photographer, beautiful, tall and atmospheric. And the walls have been scratched with names since 1925. It's just something of all times, isn't it? On the parking lot.
" It makes me happy to create memories "
I love to photograph in the French or Dutch countryside. Forests, countryside or by the sea. But also cities, towns and villages (especially in France) are my favorites.
Best regards ! Yvonne..
