Mondaye Abbey

Saw some magical and almost theatrical effects of the light at Mondaye Abbey, near Calvados, in Normandy.   The blaze of light was so great that we almost felt that an angel must be inside the abbey, just out of sight, waiting to emerge and amaze those outside.  Or, if not an angel, at least a very large and imposing light. .




The brilliant light cast a semi circle onto the grass beyond



The ducks inside the abbey courtyard faced this way and that, casting shadows.
