This iconic church in Gozo, Ta' Pinu Sanctuary, is usually shot from the front or from the top of the hill just in front of it. I went down a road leading to an interesting valley on the left side of the church to get another view. I discovered that the road is called "Sdieri" which means a steep uphill and perfectly fits the street. There is also a bridge built by the British in 1853 and an entrance to a shelter where villagers could seek shelter during air-raids in World War II. It was late in the evening and I rendered the shot with two filters in Gimp, namely brushify and canvas.
@theredcamera@wakelys@ljmanning@casablanca@phil_sandford@onewing@amyk thanks for stopping by and commenting on the picture. This sanctuary is really unique. There is an interesting history tied to the church which is not very old compared to others on the island. It is a living testimony to the great works of God experienced by so many.
