Hi, Pat!! Terrific perspective, lines, and stone texture as well as those nice puffy clouds and blue sky! Very well done!!Patricia A. Cale February 21, 2005
Thanks, Stan. This is my family's church from before I was born. It is one of the older churches in Chicago and is very beautiful inside. It was built without nails and someone said it was in the Guinness Book of Records (haven't checked it out myself). Every window is stained glass with beautiful artwork and the altar is made of marble. Unfortunately, I was there for my aunt's funeral. I want to go back and photograph the church with the priest's permission. #1121974Corry Berghout March 15, 2005

Thanks, Corry! #1176382Stanley J. Contrades March 16, 2005
Hope you've had the chance to shoot the inside, Pat, as it must be filled with beautiful light and subjects! CONGRATULATIONS on your win, and best of luck in the next round!Patricia A. Cale March 16, 2005
Thanks, Stan. I did do some inside shots, but they were done hastily. We were there for my aunt's funeral and I shot as we were leaving the church. I want to call the church and go back and shoot it properly. It is one of the prettiest churches I have been in. #1179902Amalia Sylvia Arriaga Salinas March 16, 2005
