This is a fine shot of this unusual looking cathedral.A very impressive building.
Awesome POV of this awesome structure!!
What a great shot! I love the pov. You did a fantastic job of this! It's so easy to not pay close attention, to stand in the wrong spot. Just a foot or two can make all the difference in the world. Your pov is spot on. Perfect shot!
I prefer European monuments :) nice POV
Impresive! Not my thing, but has to be impressive to see! Great POV, Sig, well shot.. Rob
Amazing capture and I thought that our church was big with 1,500 to 1,800 per service. I can't imagine what it would be like to hear 20,000 singing a gospel hymn. Dana
Very impressive POV :)
