Santa Catalina .. Photo

Photographer’s Note

Santa Catalina Monastery in Arequipa, Peru, is a must-see in the White City of Arequipa. The Monastery was begun in 1579/1580, forty years after the city was founded. The monastery was enlarged over the centuries until it became a city within the city, about 20000 sq./m. and covering a good sized city block. At one time, 450 nuns and their lay servants resided within the community, closed off from the city by high walls.
It's a place of rest in a magnificent country.

Beautiful rich colour, good detail in the shadows, very sharp. I like the bell in the distance and how the photo is composed.
