Description
Very high on Montserrat mountain about an hour outside of Barcelona in the Catalonia region of Spain, an 11th century monastery can be found. Still an active monastery of the Order of Saint Benedict, there is also a basilica on site that is known for enshrining the image of the Virgin of Montserrat, also known as the Black Madonna. As a lover of symmetry, rich colors, detail, and Gothic architecture, I love to photograph sites like this. Long ago I learned that many times it's the ceilings that I love best, so I always look up as soon as I come in and I don't think I've ever been disappointed. This image is a portion of the Basilica ceiling. I especially loved the beautiful ornate details and the richness of the colors. The small round windows on each side provided some nice natural light in the large dark space.
