That is some organ!
You need another couple on the other end of the last row to complete the symmetry, Bill - preferably a set of identical twins wearing the same clothes...
Absolutely perfect POV!
That sure looks a very impressive organ.
That's a terrific shot! If I didn't know better, I'd say you were using a tripod. An outstanding result!
Gorgeous architecture, and a magnificent photo, Bill! And no tripod? Most impressive!
Awesome - wish I could visit this live today. - Interesting post and great capture!
Interesting neo-gothic already 1855 and so perfectly symmetrical. The organ is of later date. I'd like to hear what it sounds like. Keep up the good work! :-)
What a beautiful church.
Very nice capture Bill. Well done.
Excellent picture to represent the concept !!
I am in awe of church architectural styles and this is stunning
As with Tara (just now), I'm doing 2 more of you too. I know you've posted more, but this is a day's visit, and so I can only do a few of everyone (though 4, for you and T, is a good number, this time around!) I've always said that your sense of finesse and detail and grace and balance can make any scene beautiful and jewel-like. In this case, the sight itself boosts you, because it's, by nature, sweeping and spectacular. (As a church is supposed to be, at least some of them...) Your near-the-tops-of-the-pews view makes the pews like a big ocean spreading out before us. And the church opens up above that. The organ pipes make a wonderful 'crown' to the whole; while those beautiful groins (I don't know if that's literal groined vaulting, but it's similar to what you found in the great stone cathedrals of Europe, only it's wood and probably doesn't serve the same architectural/structural purpose, even though they do have a structural purpose) (big parenthetical comment!)---ok, to pick up after those parentheses: Those beautiful wooden beam vaultings glow in your shot---you captured their dark and highlights beautifully. And the light at the back is nearly all white, bringing, into the interior, just what windows were supposed to bring: The light of the divine. A beautiful, really fine shot, Bill. Symmetry ain't easy, but you did it with panache and total class.
