   I’d never heard of the Cloisters. Serenity in NYC is always a good thing. I like the look of the spring bulbs coming up too.

   Love those stained glass windows Cathy. They’re very intricately painted.

   I never would have thought of cloisters in NYC, but it looks very peaceful. I like the way you’ve captured the light coming through the windows.

   Me neither, maybe Italy, but never NYC. Great shot.

   Thanks all for your comments. I was very surprised to find out about the Cloisters. Very peaceful setting above the Hudson River. Great place to take a break from the noises and crowds of the city. The collections are very beautiful and interesting, too.

   It does look very peaceful here – quite different from the hustle and bustle of NYC! Great shot, btw. 🙂

    It looks like it belongs in Europe not NYC. Inspiring photos, as usual 🙂

    Medieval Manhattan is so great because it is in the Middle of a City

    Happy Easter!
