[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
From the outside you could mistake the catholic cathedral to be a mosque with its magnificent 50 m high golden dome (which was once real gold). Building work began on the cathedral in 1716 although it wasn't actually finished until 1838 From the inside it looks far more modest than most cathedral although for me this is a plus. The cathedral comes equipped with a crypt which is for me the highlight of the cathedral for it has an AMAZING echo. Every footstep sounds like a giants. I really can't describe the sound properly so you'll have to go see for yourself!!! The cathedral is open from 10-18:30 Monday to Friday. 10-16:30 Saturdays and 13-18:30 Sundays. It costs 4 € to enter. The price includes a visit to the Cathedral Museum too which is on pza, Fray Felix (Casa de la Contaduria). There is what is directly translated as 'culture timetable' on Sundays from 11-13 (mass is at 12). The Plaza outside the Cathedral is a very popular place to have a drink and a snack.

It is a very nice picture with a good perspective and good colours too. However, I would like to see, say in workshop, a more general view of the cathedral in order to have a better idea of the place. Well done.

Elias, una de las cosas que hecho de menos en Canada son las palmas. El unico lugar donde crecen en Canada es en la ciudad de Victoria pues se encuentra en un clima semi-tropical. Me gusta como captaste pues el tronco de la palma parece un poco a los detalles del edificio. Los colores son naturales y hay buenos detalles por todo el plano. Gracias amigo.

Olá Elias, gosto imenso deste ângulo e do resultado artístico da composição, embora concorde com o António sobre uma imagem complementar em WS, especialmente depois de ler a nota curiosa sobre a sua cúpula que já foi de oiro e faz parecer uma mesquita. Fui procurar e encontrei este post:

Esta imagem era capaz de resultar bem com uma das tuas conversões, a preto e branco ou mesmo sepia. Boa captura.

Um abraço,
ricardo

Interesting pov to have a kind of "fusion" : tree and building are so close, dreaming at the sky like that... Good crop too.
