Wow…
I spent a lot of time on St. Denis street. First 10 years I lived between Longuille and Broussard. Last 6 years on the other end of St-Denis, by Marche Jean-Talon.
Wow Dale. Looks like Philadelphia where the Continental Congress met, though I know it’s not. Looks like the spire of Trinity Church on Wall Street in Manhattan, though I know it’s not. I guess it represents every majestic, historic landmark there is, from shining sea, to shining sea.
I love the heavenly reach of spires. And the way you framed this . . literally framed this, is sensational! East to west you have the ornate architecture, balanced divinely by the leafy ground and heavens. Did you do that on purpose?
This could be titled “Heaven and Earth” with the tip dancing in clouds while being embraced by the streets it lives on.
Yes, I did. Jules and I had just finished enjoying a margarita on a terrasse (terrace for non-Quebecers) and were walking towards our cars when I noticed that the leaves made a wonky heart-shape around the spire. Of course, I had to stop.
Another thing is, you can’t see that just below the trees, the church is being majorly renovated! Scaffolding all around the base of the spire 😉
Love that title. Should I ever become famous and have a showing of my photographs (Hah! I jest), I shall use that…giving you props, of course
There needs to be an app for that. And it’s probably on the way. You see a shot you really like and since Google has your coordinates, you can just tap the app and it saves that shot for you to edit later.
Ha ha! That would be the coolest.
Till then, we’ll do it old school and take the time to frame. Mind you, there is still some editing happening at times because you can only control so much with the camera or, in the case, phone…
Know that’s a sight – so well done!

Wow. That is fabulous.
I was struck how the spire looked like it was encircled by a, let’s call it slightly wonky or abstract heart. 😉

Of course you did. You are the artist with the lens, after all.
It would have leant another facet to this pic for sure. But to my way of thinking, I wouldn’t change a thing.
Just invite me to the gala. As long as there’s free drinks and grub. 🙂

Well… sometimes the framing is an accident but in this case, I did what I did 😉
It would have changed everything because once we walked into full sight of the church, I was like.. whoa…
Of course there will be. I do things right yanno!

I think the church would have taken away from the spire, which was the thing. I love spires, and I can’t say it enough.
Of course I do. 🙂
