Inside Saint Louis Cathedral

Last week, one of my readers asked me if we could go into the cathedral again, so please step inside and walk to the altar...
-----------------
La semaine dernière, l'un de mes lecteurs a émis le souhait d'entrer à nouveau dans la cathédrale. Nous voici donc devant l'autel...

  8. The most effective thing about this picture to me is the contrast between the cool tones of the walls and the warm tones behind he altar. Really pulls my eye in.

    Thanks again for your recent comments. You really should associate your blog with City Daily Photo Blogs - much easier to catch your new posts that way.

  12. This is an exquisite church. I like the altar very much. The flowers there on the steps? Can you explain that? Here we would have flowers on the altar. I'm wondering if it is your custom to leave them there in someone's memory perhaps?

  14. @Virginia: I'm blushing here, because I don't know. :-( There are often flowers on the altar during Holy Mass, but I don't know if and why they are put down.

  16. What I really like is the very soft whitish tone, which creates a special atmosphere.
