If the walls could speak

Photos take in Lisbon's Convento do Carmo, which dates from the XIV century and was partially destroyed in the big earthquake of 1755.
It remained roofless to these days as a reminder of that tragic event...

Sometimes the damage that's done is just too great
and better to leave as a reminder of the past.
Beautifully captured.

Superb stuff.

You have used the light and shadows so well to create such a mood...a mood that is haunting and seems to span time itself...as these arches spanned the space above the lives of those who once lived here.

Another spectacular gallery Ana! I love your compositions, and the play of light and dark, the images are bitingly sharp, and dramatic. Not many people can make a sunny day so moody, but you did it. Congrats!!

Great series Ana. I love your compositions, your black and white, your use of exposure...
It reminds me of Jumičges (in France).
