9.13 Girl Scouts

They were singing inside the church of the St. Magnus Abbey built in the Renaissance years. To realise the façade of this wing and a plaza in front of it, the architects thought a good idea to tear down the dome of the middle-age church and fill the apse with the debris, including some precious and rare byzantine frescoes.
I know, it's off center, but Richard @vignouse doesn't allow me to crop... on black the defect is slightly hidden ;-)

So dramatic with the lighting.

[Richard Sayer]

That's right, blame it on me... I can take it!

[Helen Jane]

On black, you get to see the singing girl scouts much better too. What were the architects thinking eh?

[Domenico Dodaro]

@alophoto indeed! But oh so quiet too.
@vignouse lol... no blame, but I look forward to editing all these raws I'm letting behind... thanks for the fav and for the fun!
@helenhall who knows? Conscience of the need to preserve art and architecture is a relatively recent acquisition!... thanks!

[Megan]

@domenicododaro just realized I'm not following your project! How did that happen?! Very cool shot... Just say you left it off center on purpose. ;)

[Krista Marson]

Bet that sounded good

[Delwyn Barnett]

Lovely light. Love the detail you can see when on black.

[Domenico Dodaro]

@dkbarnett Thank you, I especially love the glow on the golden rim of the cross and the gritty wall.

[Domenico Dodaro]

@blueberry1222 It did; the songs weren't really amazing, but the acoustics was excellent!

[Domenico Dodaro]

@ludgate I was wondering, effectively, how this could happen... ;-) Thank you so much for the follow, friend! And yes, could say so... or wait the end of September and crop and straighten at will!!!

[Margo Sayer]

Resonates on black. When I've heard accapello with a fine acoustic, everything freezes and resonates. I can almost feel this by just looking at the shot. One fav is not enough.

[Helen Sanderson]

rules were meant to be broken. great photo

[Yao RL]

I bet the acoustic is rich from this place..

[Domenico Dodaro]

@s4sayer Too kind of you. Thanks, Margo.
@hrs Oh, well, thank you... I love to break the rules, but this was sheer inadvertence...
@yaorenliu It is, much more than the photo!

[Kas]

Timeless.

[Walks @ 7]

So very wonderful. On black it is even more so.

[Megan]

@domenicododaro What is happening in the month of September that causes @vignouse to have such power over you?

@vignouse ah yes, I did see that! Didn't make the connection. Good challenge! Glad you're around to keep guys like @domenicododaro honest. ;)

[Domenico Dodaro]
