Lourdes - 1/10

Posted by Veronique (France-and-, Switzerland) on 31 July 2009 in Architecture and Portfolio.

I'm not Christian but I'm fond of all places which have a deep soul signification and "vibrations". I happen to live close to this place so I went !
I feared ostentatious behaviour and show-off but nothing like this. Dignity, respect and profound faith was what I felt.

This is part of a stained glass window of one of the three "churches" built kind of one on top of the others

Really good ! I think you have tuned yourself with the place because I'm sure this picture shows the attitude of most of the people who visit it.

@Taina: you are right, people's attitude is the same. And what stroke me is the disrete shmelessness of their faith

Liked your narrative, and this is a fantastic capture of the scene!
