[QUOTE="Blue439, post: 822371, member: 53455"] Thank you very much for your visit and your kind words. As announced yesterday, my photo for today will be another one of Pontigny, placing it in its current setting of fields and woods, and giving a better idea of its dimensions (120 meters long!). The abbey of Pontigny is historically very important (well, at least to Mediævalists!) but that enormous church is entirely (and blessedly?) ignored by mass tourism, which means you usually have it all to yourself when you visit. For those of you interested, there is an excellent, very lengthy and detailed notice on Wikipedia in French [URL='https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbaye_de_Pontigny']here[/URL], and a much shorter one in English [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontigny_Abbey']here[/URL]. This photo was taken with a Z7 II and an F-mount 45mm ƒ/2.8 D tilt-shift Nikkor lens with an FTZ II adapter, handheld —can’t wait for Nikon to roll out the great Z-mount tilt-shifts that, according to Thom Hogan and some others, seem to be in the works...
