we had our fire drill this morning and our assembling place was the st. james cathedral park. the cathedral was wide open, all doors on all sides.
i don't know how i had walked down 36 floors then walked five blocks to the assembling place was beyond me. when i had rested, i cased the church and saw there was a couple up at the altar taking photos. if i wasn't expected back at the office tout de suite, i would've explored the whole cathedral with my camera. however, i noted that as soon as i stepped inside the church proper, i had a dizzying feeling because of the dimness of the place. the first time i noticed that i seem to have a phobia of dark places was when i was in the church near louise's house in lunenburg. i felt short of breath instantly and my head started to swim. so i made a rather hasty retreat as i didn't want to pass out. so i only took a few token photos.
I think it's gorgeous- I'd be there for a while photographing that stained glass window. Too bad about the reaction to the dark. I think most of the time sanctuaries are a bit brighter. For a few quick shots, this is very impressive as Taffy said!
A great composition and capture of the beautiful windows.
