Saint Mary's Cathedral is located on a busy street corner in Halifax. I had to combine two separate photos to create this scene with little to no traffic passing in front of the church. Naturally that caused a whole slew of perspective problems in itself. But a little of 'turn it this way and twist it the other' made things bearable. Thinking back on it now, I maybe should have taken the shot from further up the street and at another time of day with less traffic. Except I was there when I was there not when I should have been there.

Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

You are what you are until you are not, Wendell.
I really like this shot. It must be impressive in person.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

Looks great, Wendell. Even the light grain fits the theme. Naturally (for me) I dislike the wires, but that's purely personal.

Beautiful shot Wendell - I thought at first glance it was one of your paintings. Very nicely done - I can't tell in the finished photo where one begins and the other ends. You did a great job. What a wonderful building.
