For a whole new, dark and irreverent perspective on this photo please go and see VampVamp’s extraodinary treatment “The Dread”: the result of an unexpected collaboration that came out of nowhere.
Collaborations are inspiring and so much fun.

Such a calm, peaceful and quiet time. Awesome capture.
Wow, I just love it when someone makes such a nice comment 30 secs after posting a new photo. Thank you Barbie (I can’t call you Auntie?). This is a beautiful cathedral. I hadn’t been there in years (if at all) – well worth the visit.

oh great stuff Rhoufi, beautiful perspective, serene atmostphere, the colour is sublime.
Thanks Aart. Serenity is exactly the atmosphere. But it was Sunday afternoon and there were only about tten people there? I have some more to post, like this but thought I needed at least one this week. Thanks for being so quick, I really appreciate it.

beautiful shot
Thank you Wendy. I intend to return here with a tripod, I think there are many wonderful photos yet to be taken. And welcome to RedBubble, you’re a Melbournian too – hang in with the urban landscapes, they make the best images :—)

Great image Rhoufi! :-)
Thank you Linda. I iked the particular colour wash more than standard sepia, it sort of suited the subject. Glad you like it.

Excellent shot!
Thank you Angela, processing post capture is new for me, but I wanted to try this particular colour because I think it suited the stone and the mood.

Fabulous image Rhoufi

Such a small physical presence in a huge structure…wonderfully done:))
Thanks Ralph, that’s exactly the impression I was trying to achieve – all that glorification and in the end it is for the everyman amongst us, no matter how small.
BTW, thank you for putting me on your Watchlist; I really appreciate that.

very nice well done
Thanks Christine, I’m getting a bit more adventurous. But it’s still the loner in the landscape that attracts me :—)))

marvelous
Thank you Scott, your comment is very welcome.

Love this image it is just superb, it really does capture emotion
Thank you Judith. It’s what I really look for when taking photos, but opportunities come up so infrequently. I can see why photographers get into staging their shots in a studio or in the street – but this has no attraction for me at all. The moment is so much more genuine when it’s candid.
