More snapshots from Lourdes

The main Basilica interior at Lourdes

I share with you 3 more photos from the many I took while in Lourdes. The main Basilica was busy all the time with Masses going on all day. There are actually three churches, one above each other, with the Rosary chapel at the lower level. This besides the Grotto and many other smaller chapels spread around the entire complex. 

The quaint chapel at Gavarnie in the heart of the Pyrenees mountains.

A visit to the town of Gavarnie gave me some nice scenes to admire, including a solitary country church with an adjacent cemetery, below the Pyrenees. Of course, a photographer is always looking at the perfect angle to frame his shot, and patience and foresight always give you a better result, as you can see from these and other photos to follow later in the week.

A large cross at the cemetery at Gavarnie created a perfect foreground for this photo.
