The chapel on the campus of Duke University.

Duke Chapel is an example of neo-Gothic architecture in the English style. Gothic architecture is characterized by large stone piers, pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses, which allow the creation of vast open spaces, uninterrupted by columns for support. Construction started in 1930, was completed in 1935, and cost nearly $2.3 million. The architect was Julian Abele, America’s first black architect of renown. Although the Chapel was inspired by other buildings, including English cathedrals and the chapels of other American universities, it is not a copy of any other specific building.

This is a winter shot - I had hoped to get something a bit more frosty looking, but as it was a nice day I decided to include some plants for color.

PP: light saturation, sharpening

Well done. I find the trees to be more of a decrement by distracting my eyes than a help, though. Maybe a higher POV would help separate the two better.
Best,
Mike

Hello Josh
What an excellent view, I like how the vegetation gives some depth to the photo.
Beautiful light.

I went there a couple of times, as I went to school down the road at UNC Chapel Hill.

Cheers
Daniel
