Planning a visit to NYC and have St. Patrick’s Cathedral on your list to see? Well, the good news? It’s open. The bad news? It’s getting a facelift (still good news,) but unfortunately much of the cathedral is shrouded in scaffolding as it begins the first of three phases of restoration. Seems its been more than 60 years since significant work was done. I’d say it’s time. Can’t wait for the stage when more than 1,000 stained-glass windows will be cleaned.
When a friend visited a few weeks ago, we entered the cathedral and much of the nave was closed off in scaffolding with only a section open near the sanctuary. A wedding was in process, but it was still beautiful even when the cathedral was not at its best. When we left, a white antique Rolls-Royce was parked in front waiting for the bride and groom. With the Atlas in the background, it was a picture perfect moment.
You managed to capture a perfect moment! Great.
oh superbe ces deux traitements avec ce cadrage
I’m interested in the cathedral, of course, but my eyes locked onto the bonnet of that beautiful car in the for front of your picture. Now I’m wondering what kind it is. Oh shallow me. My advisor says it’s a Rolls but I wasn’t sure if that was a flying angel,
I have always loved seeing that cathedral, Robin, especially from up above it looking down. But I’ve never been inside. That would be another “must” if we’re in the area come October!
Don’t you just love when you happen upon a wedding!!! It happens for us here all the time, especially during the summer months while we’re out-n-about.
a sensational picture!
Fabulous capture!
