The first thing that struck me is how the tree to the left is still blushing with rust colored leaves as it sheds more to a ground that is full of them while the tree on the right is already in its winter pose with nary a leave to its name.
After which the three doors that stand out in a Father, Son and Holy Ghost semblance, with that dome jutting out in such a low key manner to the right, as if peeking rather than announcing itself. And of COURSE, the roam of architecture with a pulse that dances in the shadows.
I loved that effect, too. The golden hour is just not the same in autumn as it is any other time of year. It takes on, I don’t want to say Biblical proportions but I can’t think of another term at this time.
I half wish I had taken another on a different angle to catch said dome but hey, sometimes we are so struck by the light, we can’t move 😉
I go digging deep for anything I write, post . . comment, no matter. My mind works in a different way, so I just content myself with keeping up with wherever it chooses to fly off to.
Thank you, John. He dos have a way of seeing way more in my pictures then I do! And I am so happy you feel that as well. ‘Tis what the golden hour does, doesn’t it?
OH MY DALE. It looks like The entrance of the University of Virginia. I just read a book called Jefferson’s University, so it could be why it looks so similar, but Jefferson was all about architecture so he’d appreciate this incredible photograph in your Church Series, as promised.
Isn’t it glorious under that golden autumn light? This is the Église du Saint-Enfant-de-Jésus (or Church of the Holy Infant of Jesus) which dates back to 1858. Not one of the oldest but definitely pretty. They called it An Exuberant Baroque Latino-American style inspired by Italian Renaissance… Almost makes one think they did not know how to classify it!
I shall strive to capture other interesting churches – as a Catholic province, there is no lack of subjects…
I do, very much. I’m a church freak to begin with, so your photos are feeding the beast…I wailed over Notre Dame when it had its fire. If they could only talk since they see so much as the land around them changes. Not so easy to knock down a church to build a high rise….thank God…Literally.
Which was why I had used our own Notre Dame Cathedral for WW at that time (as I am sure you remember) so consider her part of these series 😉
If they could only talk they would have so much to say!
And yes, Thank God they can’t just knock ’em down to build up an ugly high rise.
The church is stunning and yes the way the sun is casting that golden hue adds to its serenity. I was surprised to learn it only dates back to 1858. The grandeur of the architect would suggest it is older. Perfect!
Thank you, Ella. That sun is so magnificent. I was frankly surprised myself. We shall see what I capture for next week 😉 If I do another church, that is…

Yeah, there is just such a solemnity to the scenes you come across this time of year. It is as if they are dredged from the hands of Caravaggio.
This one is the perfect placement for a WW installment, I think.
