This is an awesome church/Cathedral. It is completely empty inside. The owners are in a dispute with the local municipality and the result is a lock out. No one uses this marvelous spread. There is a locked gate at the end of the long entrance road that leads up to the front doors. This cathedral was in a couple of my previous images. I had to climb over the fence and walk in to get this shot. I used my 12-24 mm lens (love it). I spent almost an hour waltzing around this massive structure. It is very surreal because there is nothing nearby and there is not a soul in site.
Thanks for looking

beautiful picture, i wish we had some cool abandoned buildings around here to photograph. Not many 'round here. I love this picture though, the wide angle gives the building great stature and size. and I love the sepia. very well done
how can that cathedral be abandoned?! it's beautiful! the picture is very right because of the white clouds behind it. probably could've worked better in color.
I LOVE IT! Very simplistic, yet BOLD and powerful. I am more drawn to this than some of the other FOR SURE favorites. I dont know exactle what it is that draws me, but this is a GREAT shot
I like this. the sky looks really cool - I can almost see the clouds moving. The somewhat burnt out steps and left sky work in this image, giving it a sort of ethereal feel.
This is really wonderfully sharp and a great composition, however...
A simple step to the right, while photographing (or a tad crop off the left) would have centered this perfectly. Instead, it has a slightly off-balance feel to me. In my opinion, it needs to either be dead center or so far off center to appear that it's intentional. 7
