Everytime i go to a cathedral for some snapshots, there are simply that few angles which we can capture... pretty much left, right or center. Of course i still think center has the best perspective which most of us have done pretty much :) In this shot, i really wish to focus on the lightings on the right side of the church. The sun was shining really brightly into the interior through all the glass panel at that time of the shot. The atmosphere was really quiet yet awesome & grand... as if a miracle was about to happen there. oh perhaps the miracle was me :P LOL! i'm just full of crap i reckon haha! Have a great day ahead!

About
The interior of St Franics Xavier
The diocese was established during a depression. The exodus to the goldfields in Victoria circa 1851 added to the financial woes of the bishop. The Cathedral was designed to be constructed in three stages so that the Diocesan finances would not be unduly stretched. 140 years after the Cathedral's foundation stone was laid, the cathedral was completed. It then became possible to dedicate the Cathedral. This was done on 11 July 1996. July 11 was chosen as this had been the date of the 1858 opening.
The shot
Standard 3 exposures shots (-2..0..+2EV) with tripod using the Canon EF-S 18-55mm lens and a polarized light filter
Photoshop
- Added a layer effect of 'curves' to slightly increase the contrast
- Added a layer effect of 'saturation' to further decrease the yellows & reds of the lightings and the wall
- Applied a bit of dodging on the benches
- Used 'unsharp mask' ( as always ) on the background layer

All comments, criticism and tips for improvements are ( as always ) welcome.

Hotel Añaza is the abandoned structure of a hotel or apartment block near Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in the Canary Islands. Construction was started by a German company in 1973, but was abandoned two years later, before the building was finished. As of 2025 the structure still exists, but it is pending demolition.(Wikipedia)
The Rietveld Pavilion in the sculpture garden of the the Kröller-Müller Museum in Park Hoge Veluwe with sculptures by Hepworth, Couzijn & De Vries.
The famous Sculpture Garden of the Kröller-Müller Museum in Park Hoge Veluwe is one of the largest in Europe. The magnificent collection of sculptures is exhibited in an innovative way, surrounded by nature. Various artists, from the late 19th century to today, are represented: Auguste Rodin, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Richard Serra, Mario Merz, Jean Dubuffet and Claes Oldenburg.
The Rietveld Pavilion in the sculpture garden of the museum was restored in 2010. Gerrit Rietveld (1884-1964) designed the pavilion for the display of small sculptures at the Third International Sculpture Exhibition in Arnhem’s Sonsbeek Park in 1955. This ‘Sonsbeek Pavilion’ was intended as a temporary structure, and it was dismantled when the exhibition was over. On the initiative of several Dutch architects, the building found a permanent home in the Kröller-Müller Museum’s sculpture garden, under a new name: the ‘Rietveld Pavilion’. The second Rietveld Pavilion in the sculpture garden of the museum was built in 1965.
From the very outset, the maintenance of the Rietveld Pavilion was a constant source of concern. Every conceivable method was considered and tried, from conservation and restoration to copying and replacing parts of the building, but it eventually became clear that the structure was beyond saving. The 1965 pavilion has been disassembled. In 2010, the museum has rebuild the structure with new materials, while adhering as closely as possible to Gerrit Rietveld’s original design. Wherever possible, parts of the 1965 pavilion that were still in adequate condition have been reused. Construction work began in January and finished in September 2010. The new, third version of the pavilion now stands in the museum’s sculpture garden, preserving Rietveld’s world-famous design for the future. The pavilion is the property of the Government Buildings Agency (GBA) of the State of the Netherlands, which, as its owner, is responsible for its maintenance. The GBA was also overseeing the restoration project on behalf of the Kröller-Müller Museum

We are coming close to the end of our look at the old Mount Royal Hospital at Parkville in Melbourne. But there are some perspectives on this magnificent old 19th century structure I want to show you before we move on.
This shot is obviously all about lines and angles, light and shade. We are looking across this small inner quadrangle to the old nurses quarters (up that external staircase high on the building). But if we look straight down the hall past the bicycle, there is a lovely little bit of light streaming through a window into the dark passage. I've tagged it on the photo. It is a little element Vermeer would have loved.
Boasting 35 hectares of greenery and 3,000 m² of ecological gardens promoting biodiversity, the Parc de la Villette is one of the largest and loveliest green spaces in Paris. A multi-disciplinary arts and culture venue, it attracts more than 10 million visitors each year.
With 26 bright red ‘follies’ – architectural structures designed by Bernard Tschumi – dotting the landscape (each devoted to a different cultural or leisure activity), the Parc de la Villette is one vast playground for Paris lovers.
