Notre Dames des Anges is right on the top of the highest mountain around my village. This place is dedicated to a saint who had the power to cure people diseases. The walls are covered with gifts that peoples offered to say thank you or ask for a cure. Not only the walls, some special and bigger gifts also hang on the ceiling. When i did this shot, over my head were a little boat and ... a dead crocodile.

If you often come here, you may know that i like and follow the work of Michelle Basic Hendry an canadian painter. Twitter just told me she had terminated a church painting and wrote about it. If you're right brained, you can beleive that ideas cross the oceans :)

That is so interesting! The atmosphere in the photo is electric...
Thanks for the mention! :)
This one is like a surrealistic painting.. very strange and intriguing. So much unlike your more naturalistic work. Do you (or did you) like to paint, also? I used to myself (when I was a student) but lost the will or patience somewhere along the way. Somehow, painting and photography do seem go hand in hand.
The colour and the facade of the interior of church is quite above this world. Very interesting look
Hmmm...a boat...and a dead crocodile...no comment... :)
This is such a beautiful photo, Patrick! Really it is! :)
Thank's all for your inputs :)
Mark, i'd love to paint but i've to say that i'm a very bad drawer :)
