I was looking for natural high key potential shots - and thought that this would work if I over-exposed the sky.
And it did, but I really did not like the result.
So, I used my properly exposed shot instead!
This is a shot of St. Raphael's ruins located on the Old King's Highway in Glengarry County, Ontario.
In 1970 a fire consumed the church of St. Raphael's, one of the earliest Roman Catholic churches in English-speaking Canada. Fortunately the outer walls were spared and today its impressive scale and fine masonry work continue to attract the tourists to the site. The Ruins were declared a National Historic Site in 1999.
The plaque at the site reads:
The extraordinary ruins of this church recall the early history of Roman Catholicism in Upper Canada. Begun in 1815, St. Raphael's Church originally served as the centre of the colony's largest and most important parish, and the administrative headquarters of the first Roman Catholic bishop, Alexander Macdonell. Situated in the heart of the historic Highland settlement, the parish was the cradle of Catholicism in Ontario. The ruins left standing after the fire of 1970 serve as a testament to Bishop Macdonell's determined efforts to forward the interests of his faith.
If they put a roof back on this building it would be very functional I would imagine. Very strong walls! I have just had two good catholic girls from Ontario staying for a couple of days!
I reckon this could work well in b&w if you felt like editing it :)
