  6. Oh! That is a gorgeous setting to be cloistered in. It looks like no one lives there anymore, but I imagine the silence being broken by quiet footsteps and the chanting!

  8. Those inside who took vows of poverty and silence may not be heard by all of us. Yet, the intricate shapes that make up this building seem to act as a non-verbal choir - we may not hear their prayers - but do feel them instead...
