Is it a Window Views or a Sepia Scenes? Or both?
I mean, it’s almost a sepia, it has a door … as well as lots of windows.
And it’s definitely grainy. Sorry for that.
I photographed this gallery at the Franciscan Monastery in Washington DC.
A peaceful hidden place which is usually what I prefer to see when I travel or visit a town.
I mean, I can find the White House on Google Images, can’t I?
Besides … they’d never allow me to take pictures in there.
But there were lots and lots of photo opportunities inside the monastery when we took the guided tour…
… as well as outside.

This monastery is beautiful. I hope I someday get to see it.
I love that courtyard! Nice pics.
Oh I think the graininess adds to the photo. I honestly don't think it would be as good without it. I love the way that you have captured even the detail of the swirls on the columns. Great photo.
The graininess made it resemble a print in a large oversized 65 year old Bible I have of my Mother's. Loved your photos Jientje.
I agree the grainy photo is very nice. I like the feeling it gives. All the other pictures are nice too.
What a bueatiful monastery. It looks so peaceful.
Grainy schmainy. It's gorgeous. As are the rest.
positively inspiring
Wow I have been to D.C. many times when my daughter lived in Maryland and I have never seen this monastery! I will have to go there for sure next visit. I loved the old world looking picture. I also loved the abstract pics of the light house and the light! So beautiful and colorful! Are you getting ready for the Christmas Holiday and New Year? I wish I were ready! Next year.....uh huh...next year will be different LOl.
My son lives close to DC so when we visit we go often but I have never been to this monastary but am asking him to put this wonderful tour on our next trip to the DC area. Beautiful photos. Merry Christmas.

Isn't that wonderful that people who never knew it was there are now anxious to visit it! It is a little known treasure... I enjoyed sharing it with you.
A pretty place, this monastery. Is it interesting to be taught about a place a 4 hour drive from my home by someone who lives across the ocean? I'm fond of the gray cat.
You seem to find the most beautiful buildings and grounds wherever you go. I enjoyed those pictures. Thanks for showing me a part of the US that I will never see.
Grainy perhaps, but I love the perspective in that first shot. The monastary looks like a wonderful place to explore, camera in hand.
Looks like a beautiful place ! I would like to see the white house although I know you can't take any pictures there, just by curiosity !
We have a lot of snow here !
That's a gorgeous place and beautiful pictures. Love the treatment of the first shot. Poster perfect!
Thank you for showing the work which was full of the emotion.
From the Far East.
Greetings.
jientje, your photos are exquisite..We have a place here in NYC called the Cloisters which looks very much like your monestery and is an opportunity for such picture-taking! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
