Monastery, Church and Simple Life


There is in the desert among farms and ranches a Catholic Monastery. Many years ago the monks settled in Utah and built  their monastery, church and a farm.  They are right now old men.  They live simple lives:  pray, work and meditate.



The Church is  very simple and picturesque.  I love this simplicity.








Every day, the monks pray in the church and chant.

  8. Beautiful light and colors. Simplicity in the photo has a greater impact. Last photo urges me to browse those old pages and to learn the secrets that hide them, as stained glasses makes me to lose in color.
    Wonderful photos, dear Kaya.
    Have a nice weekend!
    Warm hugs from Carmen

  9. Снег, пожеванная листва, зеленая трава. Странное сочетание… Церковь – красива, проста, одухотворенна. Замечательно.

  10. Una iglesia poco ostentosa por lo que se aprecia en tus imágenes, pero a veces en la sencillez esta el buen gusto, unas tomas con muy buena luz, y para mi gusto bien encuadradas, muy interesante el desenfoque de la ultima.

    Saludos.
