I got lucky this week. I've just got back from a trip to Barcelona and visited this incredible building.
Sagrada Família
It's been under construction for over 130 years and isn't set for completion for at least another 10 years. I have no religious or spiritual connection to the place or doctrine what-so-ever, but the meticulous attention to detail, and foresight on how the light would punctuate the stone, left me gob-smacked. I was struck by the commitment to such a project in the name of religion and it left me wondering if such a thing would be possible in a secular context. I don't really do a lot of architectural stuff so wasn't sure how this would turn out. Anyway, hope you like it.

It's an amazing building, isn't it? I miss Barcelona...

^^ Stunning. It looks kaleidoscopic.

OH BOLLOCKS. I have been waiting on this theme as I pass a Mosque everyday where they do big outdoor praying sessions in a car park. Which is next to an Old East End pub and a Kebab shop. Much Juxtaposition.
But I'm off on holiday.

^^^ oh wow!

I've had the photo and the caption ready in my head for months.... just yet to pull out a camera.

I hate when that happens.

That's really great, the implied crucifix made by those circular mouldings/your framing really sets it off, in my eyes. Are the colours artificial, or from stained glass?

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.

@thross the colours are real. The stained class around the building cycles through the colour spectrum. The saturation is perhaps a little enhanced through my used of curves in LR.
Have more examples. Will post in the main Digital Cameras thread once I've gone through and edited them.

That is cracking, but I think it's even better when rotated -0.4 degrees and shifted 5px right. I think...

Quiet this week
Seem folk are struggling with religion.
Keep the faith...
