comparative religion

 

I don’t even mind admitting that it took me a lot longer than it should have to remember how to use the “miniature” effect that’s built in to my camera. Turns out that actually looking up how to do it is a lot more productive than just randomly poking at camera settings, which honestly is sort of a shock. Only, of course, not a shock at all.

And, now that I’ve figured it out (again) it’s actually quite easy. That’s the part that’s embarrassing: that I forgot the perfectly simple way to do something silly. That doesn’t seem like me.

But anyway, here’s a shot of St. Mary’s Catholic church which is on St. Mary’s Street.

Ascending to the mystery

It was late afternoon when we arrived here, and the low sun was leaning through the windows, deepening the shadows. And the mystery.

I located this simple tableaux in the church’s bell tower.
