Photographer’s Note

The main sight in town is the monastery - the monastery and the city date back to the 9th century. It is located at the highest point of the town and offers a good view. The walls and ceiling of the monastery church are decorated very elegantly.

Grüezi JF,
Ben ils ont pas fait simple les Schwyzer, une image ou j'apprecierais un peu plus d'angle mais ou les structures se dressent fierement dans le ciel tout bleu
Bonne journee jY

Jean,
This is a nicely composed photo with the angular stairs leading the eye upward. The lighting and colors are great with nice sharpness and detail.
The deep blue sky forms a nice backdrop for the shot.
TFS,
Asa

Good shot of this imposing building. Your low POV makes good use of the staircase to lead the eye upwards. The lovely blue sky makes the perfect backdrop for the old stones of the building. It just misses out on perfect sharpness, no doubt due to the scan and/or downsizing.
