I went back to the Campbell House with the Chamonix 4x5 and some FP4+, developed in Diafine and scanned on the X1:

Lovely LF image.  Shows the sagging of the roofline.  But, I'm still amazed that this house looks this good after being unlived in for 50 years (if I'm remembering your earlier post right).  Boggles my mind as I would have thought nature would have made a stronger effort to reclaim it during those decades.  

 

EDIT: One or two of the houses in my neighborhood look more rundown than this and they've always had occupants, albeit sometimes fairly house-stressed ones after 2008.

Henry,

 

Nice to see pictures from the interior of the abbey, as the main view that is normally shown is the one from the outside across the lavendelfields - I think every second guidebook sports it on the cover? Your pictures show the simplicity, beauty (and silence) on the inside.

We visited Senanque some time ago, and another Cistercian abbey nearby this summer, Silvacan. My favourite, perhaps because it is a bit more secluded, remains the third Cistercian abbey of the Provence, Thoronet, but I like the atmosphere of all three. The acoustics of the main churches is always superb, and the simplicity of the interior has its own special beauty. (I'll look for some pics when I am back home from my current travels...)

 

Rgds and thx

Christoph,

Thanks for your kind comment.

I think you have another great Cistercian Abbey at Clairvaux

All are quiet places  to meditate and do a backward.

Recently I spent one week at Sénanque for a pilgrimage just to get back spiritually

unrelated with the religion. This is very beneficial for me

Henry,

 

Yes, there are more Cistercian Abbeys around; the three I mentioned are the ones of the Provence.

Nice that you could spend a week in Senanque for peace and meditation, I imagine this has been an impressive experience for you (meditation & the Leica :) )

My experiences there only extends to visiting as a tourist...

 

Rgds

Henry,

Since you are about to embark on another humanitarian mission, I'll post this photo of Pippa when she worked for three months at a mission hospital in Maua, Kenya. She still visits Kenya each year as she has set up a home for AIDS and AIDS-orphaned children there, but, sadly, all her photos of it are digital (but still Leica!)

It's truly a wonderful thing that your wife has done and does for these children, Chris. I was in Nakuru a few years ago and it is a very beautiful place.

I'll second the applause for your wife's humanitarian work -- that's the real winner.   

 

But, it's nice to see an image from the humble Oly Trip!  I used to make fun of this camera, until I got one.  Fabulous thing and a dead sharp lens!  I'll even confess to (sometimes!) liking the square OOF points of light from the square aperture opening -- quite odd but even that can be fun too.

All from a research trip to Chongqing / Sichuan in the summer of 2014.

The four poster bed and failing ceiling in the wife's bedroom of a Qing dynasty (1644-1911) wealthy merchant’s house that had been converted to a museum.  Buried in a "old town" 古镇 alley, I doubt they get a 100 people a year paying the entrance fee.  The old guys manning the door were thrilled my friend and I spent half an hour wandering through.

An old man happily smoking in an even older back alley teashop.
