Cathedral of the Most Holy

| [Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe |
| The structure captured here while on a cruise to Bermuda last year is known as 'The Cathedral'. However it is in fact not the original building. The first building was destroyed by an arsonist in 1884. Built of native stone and imported Caen stone, the Cathedral of The Most Holy Trinity was designed by William Hay of Edinburgh in Restoration Gothic-style in the shape of a Roman Cross. Some of the stonework around the windows, doors and arches came from Normandy, France. The Cathedral that stands today was built in 1886 and finally finished in 1905. The top of the tower in the background has 155 steps which if climbed offer fabulous panoramic views overlooking the City of Hamilton. |

Hello Lisa,
Absolutely majestic. You've selected a very good vantage point, accentuating the verticality of the structure. By using a wide angle shot, you are demonstrating effectively the technique of three-point perspective. Not only do parallel lines from the sides of a pair of orthogonal walls converge on the horizon line on the right and left, but the vertical lines converge at a great height above the Cathedral. The colors and resolution are first rate, as is the succinct but informative note.
Warm regards,
Bulent
