This is part of the Twin Spires Cathedral in St. Joseph, Missouri. It is the Church of the Immaculate Conception and is now a museum. I found this to be very haunting. I will post more photos of the Church later.

LynEve was wanting more photos for her b/w challenge so I will submit this one.

You are right Tick, it does have a haunting quality about it but the face is beautifully carved.

I too agree that it makes you look at the face again and again - a truly haunting quality. Great capture Tick.

Magnificent angle and love the way it looks 3D in full view. Wonderful Challenge entry, I see they have spikes to keep birds off. Really like this Tick

I agree with you Tick it is haunting, I don’t know if it is the eyes, the quality of the sculpture or maybe the downward angle of it. I will say this; the fellow behind the camera did a very nice job with.I am looking forward to see the upcoming posts.

Wish I had seen that when I went through St Jo a couple of years ago. Guess I just had Texas on my mind. It's a beautiful sculpture, Tick.Looking forward to seeing the rest of those shots.

Seems the stare didn't ward off any pigeons though!

A good angle for this capture!..Unusual that you see a church as a museum too...(At least over here you don't)

Lyn will love it....as I do!

A good angle in the photo and a great look of sadness in her face.
