12 Century Restored Chapter House at the Abbey of New Clairvaux in Vina California.

A new crescent moon chases the sun over the jagged western horizon.

A canopy of 12th century stones reborn whisper the ancient chants of Spanish monks.

The monastery bells ring for Vespers.

And dozens of turkey vultures orbit in silence.

Roosting in the tops of the tall cloister trees.
