The Patina of Devotion

奉献通常可以产生神奇的结果;特别是当它随着时间的推移应用于物理世界中的物体时。例如，乘坐本周的新抵达 - 法国普罗旺斯Senanque Abbey照片。它是展览的一部分，建筑内部，今晚在原始和2018年1月8日开业。由僧侣和尼姑的秘书处的Cistercian令的成员成立于1148年，被修道院茁壮成长为居民经营的轧机，发展薰衣草，发展起来周围的土地，当然，祈祷。考虑的所有事情，斯内纳克的生活是傲慢而且简单的，直到16世纪初。这就是人类行为的钟摆改动了另一种方式。发生了法国宗教战争。它蔓延到周围国家之间的政治冲突。火灾损害了修道院，它被篮下。 By the time the French Revolution came around, only one monk remained. The government expelled him and nationalized the property. Maybe they thought it was too much work for one man; except they turned around and sold it to a private individual. All the while, the Abbey’s bricks, mortar, columns, fields and atmosphere remained infused with devotion. When it once again became a sanctuary in the mid-1800s, the devotion inherent in Senanque became evident for all who cared to look.

现在，看看汤姆罗斯特的这张照片Senanque。与展览中的其他图像一样，它呈现了世界上一个伟大的建筑之一的综合观点;在这种情况下，罗马式架构的典型例子。仔细考试后，您可以看到教会，其巨大的木制交叉通过从另一侧的窗户中的光线照亮。这是一个没有褶边结构;与巴黎歌剧院相反，展览会的另一个工作。这里的居住者珍惜别的东西。与修道院相邻的薰衣草植物的完美行并不像过去那样充满活力，但它们仍然保持着颜色。他们似乎瞥了一眼照片的铜绿。呼吸深，你可以想象他们的香味。 This part of the picture was shot at dusk as the plants were about to rest. To the right one can see the paired inner columns of the cloisters, the covered walk surrounding the interior courtyard. Normally hidden from sight, it is actually in the interior on the other side of the building. Everywhere you look simplicity reigns, even the sky. There are no clouds, stars, or sun; just the pure light of dawn, the time this part of the picture was taken. This photograph is more than an innovative, artistic exercise. Its composition and individual elements take us on an austere journey, finally exposing the net effects of devotion revealed inside out.
