Arches in black and white

Recently I was going through my photo archives, when I noticed some old photographs I had taken during a holiday. We visited Abbaye de Clairvaux, where we took a guided tour.
The tour was quite boring and the Abbaye was mostly in disrepair and poorly maintained, except for one room with a beautiful arched ceiling.
That photo inspired me to convert into a monochrome one and share in this blog.

This is my entry for the #monomad challenge

After that I did a search in my archive to see if I had more arches... which of course I had....

Pont du Gard near Nîmes. It looks like a really old photo now, but it's actually 'just' five years old.

This was another photo I took in France. It was a brocante in a city center. I just loved the hallway with arches.

Churches are also great if you like arches and repetition. If I remember correctly this is the cathedral of Rheims, France.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on these images. Feel free to share your perspective in the comments.
