The Church in Sant Pau d'Ordal

The church in Sant Pau d'Ordal was located directly across the street from where we stayed.  When we first arrived, the bells chimed to signal the changing of the hour and the half hour.  How charming you might say.  It happened every hour of every day, and there may have been a glitch in the system because it went off twice for many of the hours.  And it wasn't even the big bell, there was some other smaller, weaker bell chiming.  The church was beautiful, we never saw it opened nor anyone coming or going.  Being a tiny town, it wouldn't surprise me if the church opened up for Sunday mass, then all of the official church business was done elsewhere.  These pictures were taken at night as the sun was just about gone.  The saddest thing, in my opinion, with the whole landscape is the addition of the street lamps everywhere, hence the orangish color that is so present when using the slow-shutter speed.
