A trip to the Monastery

By annie the teacher written 11/14/05 2:51 PM, published 11/14/05 2:51 PM
This weekend we drove to a Trappist Monk Monastery in the mountains near my home.  ThePopup Linkscenic drive was well worth the time as was the creamed honey we purchased from the monks.  While there, I was able to snap a few pictures.  One of a lone plasticPopup Linkchair sitting in the grass.  Another of somePopup Linkberries growing on a tree and a third of the simple Popup Linkchapel where the monks worship.

  • The scenic drive reminds me of a section in Cades Cove, in TN Like the chapel scene--could go there and meditate.

  • Scenic is absolutely stunning - looks like a painting (that's a good thing to me! ; ) love the way the color is soft and intense at the same time (behind the trees and the sky!)

  • It is, it is. Add me to the list of folks that love that shot. I find their chapel interesting...it's like the fuselage of an airplane.

    Scenic should be a puzzle or a greeting card. Simply stunning. When I think of Monks and Monasteries, I imagine a building centuries old... stone walls... etc.... this is an unusual view of what appears to be a moderned designed facility. The reflection of the stained windows is nice. But Scenic drive is no doubt the best!
