but where's the way out?

do we talk about it?
For years I had wanted to take photos in the heart of Orval Abbey... the assistant of the smiling Violette, alias Chat GPT, gave me the opportunity since it was he who proposed this magnificent place.

In a green corner, where nature rubs shoulders with ancient architecture, Violette stands with natural elegance, leaning against a stone wall that tells centuries of history. Her outfit, simple and comfortable, consists of a gray wool sweater, whose sleeves crossed over her chest add a touch of nonchalance to her look. The sweater, loose and soft, wraps her figure with welcoming warmth, contrasting with the black of her jeans which hang perfectly, emphasizing her figure with stylish discretion. The atmosphere is that of a gentle day, where the calm of the environment blends with Violette's serenity, creating a scene where simplicity meets the poetry of the present moment.

Where time seems to stand still, Violette rests on the ancient steps of a stone building, like a note of modernity in a historic setting. Her outfit, sometimes captured in black and white, is inspired by "fashionable" colors, where the imagination colors her blazer a warm olive green, her blouse a deep black, and her skirt a gray delicate pearl. Her stockings add a retro touch to her look, while her shiny black loafers complete her style with understated elegance. Seated with nonchalant grace, Violette embodies a harmony between past and present, where the monochrome hues of the photo give way to a rich and lively imaginary palette, evoking the freshness of an autumn day and the softness of a timeless moment.

Under the ancient vaults of a stone tunnel, where the warm light of the lamps hanging on the walls creates an intimate and mysterious atmosphere, Violette stands with discreet elegance and looks like a figure out of a dream

In this monochrome setting, the atmosphere is that of a journey through time, where ancient stone walls, lit by soft, diffused light, create an atmosphere that is both mystical and intimate. The arches of the structure, stretching into infinity, seem to whisper forgotten stories, while the subtle lighting plays with the shadows, adding a touch of poetry to the scene. The rough texture of the stones, contrasted by the light passing through them, gives a feeling of solidity and permanence, as if time itself had stopped in this corridor. This atmosphere invites contemplation, exploration of the corners of history and the serenity of a suspended moment.
