Monochrome Monday


Cathedral of St. Paul on Tremont Street. A slightly different view of the cathedral I took two years ago.

Fabulous! Amazing POV and the scale of the cathedral to the people. Brava.

I love how the monochrome brings out the patterns on the columns. Beautifully done.

You 've got a great talent to tell a lot with a little..Choosing this angle, you explain where you are, how big and impressive is the place, and make a powerful shot!

The columns are so interesting...they look water-stained.

I like this new one better,
the columns free of any advertisement!

I was just going to say the same thing, Hilda! I've never seen these in person. Is it marble? cement?

Massive columns set off by much more delicate ironwork. Impressive. I like the figure seen through the railing - gives a great sense of scale.

Those columns are enormous!

Imposing column, I like the veneers of the marble rendered perfectly in B&W.

I enjoy familiar things shot from different angles, I think we all do.

I can feel the weight of those massive columns. I like the counterpoint of the person sitting off to the side. You have a great eye for composition.

Love the monchrome - your tones are nice. Your angle makes it look enormous and feel heavy (which is great!).

Love that perspective of columns going up and monochrome tones

Buildings with columns seem to draw the camera, they always make a good b&w subject.
