Notre Dame des Miracles, Mauriac

Awesome tympanum arch of Ste-Foy de Conques, made before 1130. A kind of compendium of medieval storytelling that focuses not only on biblical scenes. A particularly interesting aspect of the church is the set of carvings of the "curieux" (the curious ones) who are peeking over the edges of the tympanum arch. Stitched from several shots. Please watch in original size (7202 x 4192) [Attention: HUGE! 12 MB!] for details. There's a German wikipedia article .
