A view of what was originally consecrated as St. Patrick's Church and Parish House in Lincoln, Illinois. St. Patrick's was renamed Holy Family Parish in the 1970s after it combined with another area Catholic church, St. Mary's, whose sanctuary had been destroyed by fire. Holy Family is a rural parish ministering to families located throughout parts of Logan County.
St. Patrick's was designed by George P. Stauduhar (1863-1928), the prolific Rock Island architect who built over 200 churches during his career. The cornerstone of St. Patrick's was laid in 1903.
Looking forward to when we can raise a glass together again.
The last normal pint I was served across a bar in a pub was on this day in 2020.
St Patrick's Roman Catholic Church has the dubious distinction of being situated on a site which was once a brothel and a music hall owned by one of Casanova's mistresses. It was initially a spiritual home for the Irish community in London, having been one of the first Catholic buildings established in Britain after the Protestant Reformation, but today also functions as the centre of the parish's volunteer work with the poor, sick and homeless in Soho, as well as delivering services in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Cantonese. It's also a stunning example of Italianate architecture in London, but somehow its multifaceted history -- and the fact that it's so peaceful despite being only minutes from Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus and Covent Garden -- made it even more fascinating to photograph.
This was my second visit to the location in the past few years and the second time I've captured the church from the entrance to its arcaded nave. I visited on a clear day when the sun was high to ensure as much as light as possible would be flooding through the windows, lighting up the barrel-vaulted ceiling and amplifying the colour along the church's gilded apse. While the church looks magnificent in any light conditions, my aim was to bring out the location's bright, clean and airy ambience, with warm light illuminating the central aisle and the pews reflecting in the Renaissance-style marble floor.
The image was very straightforward to shoot and edit, comprising a combination of several exposures blended with luminosity masks, allowing me to control the intensity of the sunlight pouring through the windows at the same time as providing the best possible finish in the shadows. I made very few changes to the colour balance but tried to bring out the vibrance of the warm light while emphasising the muted blue-ish tones along the marble floor, as well as isolating and slightly desaturating the foreground to help guide the eye towards the centre of the image.

I did not have much time to spend on this, but then again, I realize I tend to overwork most of my sketches... It is snowing again tonight and I was ready for something GREEN!
For each petal on the shamrock
This brings a wish your way -
Good health, good luck, and happiness
For today and every day...

My cousin in Pennsylvania had decorated her tree for Christmas and Valentine’s Day, now here it is, decorated for St. Patrick’s Day ☘️ She emailed this photo to me the day after St. Patrick’s Day, but I notice that she photographed it in late February. 💚☘️💚☘️🎄
I see that she has her cat tower next to the tree for her daughter’s cat. That must be why the cat doesn’t bother the tree, as she has her own tower for climbing! 😺🎄
The Cathedral of Saint Patrick, is located on Fifth Avenue between 50th and 51st Streets in New York City. The Cathedral is the largest gothic-style Catholic Cathedral in the United States and has been recognized throughout its history as a pre-eminent center of Catholic life in this country.Over five and a half million visitors each year come to visit and pray. The Cathedral has come to represent for so many a place of peace and tranquility where one is constantly reminded of God's presence, eloquently depicted in the Cathedral's architecture, altars, stained glass windows and wood and marble sculptures.
from my favorite spot in NYC. I just wanted to shoot the cathedral and the huge statue in a frame. My superwide(7-8mm) pinhole camera is handy for these kind of restricted distance.
