huesca and pyrenees of huesca, spain the cloister of San Juan de la Peña III

San Juan de la Peña is an area with a landscape of notable beauty that proudly proclaims the most profound historical roots of the ancient Kingdom of Aragon. San Juan de la Peña Monastery was built between the final years of the ninth century and the beginning of the tenth century, and It was pantheon of the Monarchs of Aragon. The romanesque cloister of San Juan de la Peña built in the 12th century, this is the most important part of the monastery and It´s sheltered under the rock of the mountain, which functions as a natural vault and turns this into the only cloister in the world with such a shelter. It is worth remarking on its romanesque capitals dating back to the 12th and 13th century.

 

Do you like the cloister?

La luz esta muy equilibrada, sin embargo un wide angle más amplio hubiera hecho posible abarcar la totalidad del claustro. A pesar de todo, te felicito por la imagen

Me sigue gustando mucho la verticalidad de las lineas en la composición, aunque tal ve yo habría desplazado el pilar de la esquina un poco mas a la derecha, para conseguir un caracter mas asimetrico.

Luis lo ha dicho muy clarito... Pero cuidado con loa angulares pues mantener la verticalidad de las lineas es empeño complicado...
