Taken a few steps before the previous posting, but in a different direction.
The chapel of St.Gertrudis in the park surrounding the castle of Gaasbeek, built about 1615 over a natural spring that feeds the lake. The last sunrays just reach the treetops, the shadows are as soft as the light, the little wind didn't reach this secluded hollow in the surrounding woods. Peaceful.
The full size image looks better, and after resizing I had to sharpen slightly in order to keep detail. No further PP, just framing and signature.
I considered a partial cutout... perhaps tomorrow...

(an extended history of the castle (in english) can be found here)
