This is quite beautiful Mike. The steeple is wonderful as well as the turquoise roof and smooth surface that reminds me of Pueblo, a magnificent find. I think I would definitely need to wander inside there

  Thanks Hollie. Yes, the roof is magnificent and the stucco finish is very
  Pueblo in design. Nice to see that partial face of yours.

  The roof is really something and plays off the blue sky nicely. And ‘ello Susan.

I love the way the fading contrails echo and emphasize the perspective illusion. This for me nails the feeling of rightness in this picture – it’s very grounded. Lovely!

    The longer I look at this picture, the more play and pleasure in visual play my eyes get from the lineal directionals. This underscores for me the content of the photo – meditation. A holy space is a space for meditation.

    Truthfully, when I shoot it is largely an intuitive process. I do spend time with settings, and I do think (a little) about composition but when I see it, I feel it, and it comes together for me in a natural way. Your comments suggest that my intuition is spot on, at least in this image. And I thank you for your analysis and your sense of it all.
