It's only when you take a look at a white and black photo of the cathedral that one can really appreciate the dramatic lighting system of this fabulous church; don't you agree?
Alone and lonely are two things that first came to my mind when I took this photo and especially so after I turned into black and white; not that there were too much color to begin with. What about you, what’s the first feeling or thought that this photo evokes in you?
