Ronchamp inspires further babbling.

 

ok, one more...

there was a pyrimid/ziggurat defining an edge of the outdoor chapel space, ie it was at the edge of the hill. very suprising because i had never seen it photographed. nice little monument though... set itself up well against the amazing scenery, which i shall not show you either.

no interior pictures to illustrate the most amazing part of the chapel, the pictures wouldn't do anything to really say much about the tense peace of the interior. and words aren't going to do much either - how fantastic. i'm sure the experience of the chapel would be different for everyone - but i felt like there was a pulling of different elements for your head and eyes, but unlike some of the elaborate churches of rome, there was a subdued peace about it - not hyper or impatient, just measured interests... and i wasn't going to talk about this? will need to make these into something coherent before posting... 'for real'. project for the week. Posted by Picasa
