Oh this is marvelous Bill! I love the vapour trail! Shirt pocket filter?? Huh... lol... I love the glistening of gold!! :)

Gold and a jet! wonderful shot!

Wowww! What a spectacular shot! The color of the sky is phenomenal. I know, I know, the sky is blue, right? Well ... not here, and certainly not at this time of year. That golden dome against that blue, blue sky is absolutely gorgeous!

Wonderful shot!

Still, a great shot, Bill!

You caught this with the sun in the sky and on the steeple at the same time. How gorgeous.

Nice capture Bill, this looks wonderful love the jet vapour trail, well done!!

wonderful photo!!!

Marvellous! That dart of vapour is a bonus!

It's funny how a good church always draws my attention, especially since religion is so opposite my nature. I guess I "get" religion on a level, but completely miss the point on another. I think that's where my profound interest in places of worship comes from; my lack of belief allows me to see any sacred place in the way this church appears now. It's something gorgeous, an embodiment not of some divine entity, but of our most intimate desire and expectation of ourselves. I believe that we worship God in one form or another because God in every noble and good aspect represents that which we hope to become. I say all of this now, because this image makes me think of that. The gold of the copula, the details below it, the colors, the intensity, the purity...those are all what we think of when the more spiritual aspects of faith come into our minds, and I love this photograph because it embodies that so succinctly...and there's not a goofy, anatomically incorrect angel in sight. (I never understood why angels don't have hunch backs...I mean, where are the muscles for those HUGE wings?) Yeah, and the high altitude military jet and the sunlight just add to it. This is wonderful work, as beautiful as those gaudy, gold things I have yet to see in Ukraine and Russia. I love this image!

Beautiful capture...!!!

fabulous shot!!

Hey at least you had the polarizing filter WITH you...I usually find out that I've left things at home at the time I need them, actually...allot of the time it is my camera I've left home...lol I do hope you put up a tree this year even if it is just for you and Mandy. Sitting in the dark with just the lights on, just awesome. Sure Mandy would love it to!:-)Yep..I hear her whispering that she hopes you do...:-)

Beautiful architecture and shot Bill

It glows.

Boy that gold really pics up the light, don't it! Excellent drive-by shot! ;D

This sure gets ones attention...nicely seen and a great result...

What a fabulous pic taken through the windscreen. Beautiful tower.

MARVELOUS SHOT!!!!!

Incredible capture! Lighting is superb, and casts a wonderful reflection off this structure! Stellar clear blue sky, with the trails of a plane left behind! Really makes you think about relative size! Wonderful composition!

I love how you have caught the light on the dome and steeple of this church, it gives it a beautiful golden look.

it almost looks "blessed" ...complete with an airplane in the sky ..awesome job!!

Shades of Notre Dame University! They also have a golden dome, which they like to show on TV during half time of their football games. Scintillating POV, clarity, contrasts and lighting effects in this shot, Bill.

SPLENDID...I LIKE THE PLANE TO INSIDE THIS SHOT! (AUTO-FAV)

Wow--heaven sent!!
