Artist Roy Secord's "Bronx Seasons Everchanging" mosaic pieces installed in the 174-175th Street Station on the B,D line in the Bronx
The prime attraction in The Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood are the ceiling mosaics. Amazing use of coloured cut glass pieces.
In July 1970, management of the Church passed to Saint Isaac's Cathedral and it was used as a museum.
The proceeds from the Cathedral funded the restoration of the Church. It was reopened in August 1997 after 27 years of restoration.
The Church of the Saviour on Blood is a Museum of Mosaics. In the pre-Revolution period it was not used as a public place of worship. The church was dedicated to the memory of the assassinated tsar and only panikhidas (memorial services) took place.
The Church is now one of the main tourist attractions in St. Petersburg.

Question is, did I obviously take this Tate Britain shot very slightly off centre to 'create tension' or was I just exhausted after a long days photography in London ?

From Wikipedia : "In 2012, Tate Britain announced that it had raised the £45 million required to complete a major renovation, largely thanks to a £4.9 million grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and £1 million given by Tate Members. The museum stayed open throughout the three phases of renovation.
Completed in 2013, the newly designed sections were conceived by the architects Caruso St John and included a total of nine new galleries, with reinforced flooring to accommodate heavy sculptures. A second part was unveiled later that year, the centrepiece being the reopening of the building's Thames-facing entrance as well as a new spiral staircase beneath its rotunda. The circular balcony of the rotunda's domed atrium, closed to visitors since the 1920s, was reopened. The gallery also now has a dedicated schools' entrance and reception beneath its entrance steps on Millbank and a new archive gallery for the presentation of temporary displays."

"Sure as I am breathing, sure as I’m sad
I’ll keep this wisdom in my flesh
I leave here believing more than I had
This love has got no ceiling"

This is the vestibule (entry way) of "Our Lady Guadalupe Shrine" in La Crosse, WI. I took some pro bono shots for a relative who works there in the marketing department. This meant we got to break a rule and go in with a tripod and do some things most people can't do with their point and shoots. For this I got to stretch out the legs on the induro and lay on my back with the 14-24 a few inches off the ground and line this up perfectly. Of course I had to remove wide angle distortion in post as well as lighten up around the edges because the only light was from the chandelier in the center of the ceiling.
