Oftentimes I find that the beauty of nature and divinity's relationship goes unnoticed. To me, this image, and this poem I wrote, capture exactly that mystifying beauty. Light breaks through darkness, Mary meets open wings, Stone cradles heaven’s feather.
I framed this shot to capture the grandeur and verticality that define the style. I love how the Gothic architecture contrasts between light and shadow with it's pointed arches and intricate details, which also guide the eye upward.
A cross hidden in the mist, wrapped around a twisting wise oak.
Coastal town with white buildings, a church with a tower, and a mountain in the background, near the water with boats docked along the shore.
