Ceiling of the Cathedral of Agios Minas, a photo from Iraklion, Crete

Photographer's Note

Interior ceiling of the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Agios Minas, the seat of the Archbishop of Crete. It was built between 1862 and 1895, when Crete still was an Otoman possession. According to a legend, it is located on the place where Saint Minas, the patron saint of Crete appear to a monk in a vision.

You can see the façade in this post of mine. Shot without tripod.

Hi Jose
Striking arty interior incorporating ceiling, arches and columns showing the remarkable definition all round. Lovely tones, colours with subtle shadows & shades and your balanced lighting has produced an awe inspiring architectural picture with immense sense of depth and great perspective. Very well done shor! Congrats

Ola Jose
The deatils of the mural paintings on the ceiling are beautiful. Handling of exposure was not easy given the round window where the light streams through. I also liked how the light shines on the column on the left. Good work!
With Regards
