St. Bonaventure  by skipt07

St. Bonaventure

When I was in high school I played basketball and I followed basketball. Back then one of the powerhouses in college basketball was St. Bonaventure. I don't recall knowing where St. Bonaventure resided. On our way back home from seeing Jonah and hiking at Ricketts Glen I decided to take I-86 through New York State. We started feeling a little hungry and I got off exit 26 for Rt. 16 for Olean, NY. After getting a bite to eat I started back to get on I-86 when we saw the sign for St. Bonaventure. I turned around and pulled into one of their parking lots. We noticed a number of families walking around campus heading to this building. We wonder if it might have been, Parents Day. Then a car pulled in and a monk got out. I waited until he got into the frame and included him. St. Bonaventure was founded by the Franciscan monks and named after Saint Bonaventure (Italian: San Bonaventura; 1221 – 15 July 1274), born Giovanni di Fidanza, who was an Italian medieval Franciscan, scholastic theologian and philosopher.
Perfectly composed!!

Your timing was perfect, both for the monk and the lighting. And the image is beautifully composed.
