Monochrome Madness: Walls

Posted on March 11, 2026

The Collegiale church of Saint-Pierre-es-Liens in the nearby village of Le Dorat is a massive granite structure, built in the Roman style between the eleventh and twelfth centuries.

It’s certainly well worth a visit, although I’ve always found the interior rather on the gloomy side, especially when it comes to the numerous side chapels, such as this one. Still, considering that those walls are, at the very least, seven hundred years old, they’re probably doing pretty well.

Plenty of edges on view here, in the wall in my daughter’s back garden.

The staircase

Posted on January 26, 2018

While visiting the restored medieval abbey of Noirlac last year, I was struck by this almost abstract composition of a curving staircase and austere stone walls. Another homage to M C Escher and suitable for Cee’s Black & White subject of ‘Walls’ this week.
