urban The Old School Chapel

This is the chapel in the school where I misspent my youth. The

building was turned into government offices but the convent quarters

were restored and maintained for public view.

You have captured the sense of undisturbed quiet that often seems to pervade these places. I like the tones here and the range of contrast looks very good.

Colin, this is a very pretty chapel decorated in cream with pale blue and gold trim. It's flanked by a row of windows on either side and lets the sun stream in, allowing for a decent handheld shot. It seems a much cheerier place now that the constraints of schooling and religion no longer exist.

What a nice opportunity to revisit your own past with a camera.

Mike, it's nice to revisit the past as long as I don't have to relive it {~;

Yes, in the same way history, literature, art etc all became a lot more inviting for me once they were no longer school subjects!

Hanna, simply very beautiful, very well croped, and toned, so nice without the noisy children... very quiet here. Pnina

Ah, light and excellent architecture--the two things missing in my recent church interior shots!

 

Great work, Hanna.

Colin, Pnina and Lannie, it's nice to have you all visiting at the same time. There's just enough room for the four of us in this little chapel. It was only big enough to hold one or two classes.
