I got really lucky in this photo! While our car’s front tyres were being replaced (very necessary), I walked around Nelson and found this magnificent cathedral. Inside was a string quartet practicing! I sat down in wonder and pleasure. Tap on my shoulder, there was a priest saying, if you came tonight here, you would be paying $80.00! I gave him a big smile.
Three good things:
1. The music was wonderful but I didn’t know the composition. Have to find out.
2. Decided to go onwards to Inland Lakes in this region - maybe lots of sandflies but we do have insect screens on all the 10 windows!
3. The ambience of the cathedral almost brought me to tears - my sister’s life had gone just a few weeks ago!
An absolutely beautiful image. How fortunate of you to be able to enjoy the concert. Magnificent timing on your part! Still praying for you as I know it takes a while to move on from such a life-changing occurrence ❤
Lovely shot. It was great that you got to listen to this string quartet. That concerto is a very lovely piece. It has taken me a while after my mother's death, but now I am beginning to find such experiences comforting (such as stepping into this beautiful cathedral).
What a great photo, Maggiemae and so nice to be able to enjoy them for a bit without paying for it. You are like me, I love music. I hope you share it somehow on here. I feel very strongly in a chapel or church. Maybe it was my years growing up in the Catholic religion and in churches which I respect and feel so strongly inside and emotional as well. I could spend hours literally inside taking photos and just what it brings to the spirit and soul. I am sorry about your sister. It is so hard to lose those we love. FAV
Your picture is beautiful, but it's really amazing on black.
and beautiful photo!
