Church through the trees

Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 11 January 2009 in Cityscape & Urban.

Took this quite close to my office, looked up and saw the tree church cross and building lined up and liked how they looked

That so splendid photo. That so peculiar visual resistances. The group of branches in first term to backlighting, with the basic cross, equips to the photography of certain mystery.

Very nicely done. The building behind looks like an apartment building, and it dwarfs everything; there's a message in there somewhere.

Craig from United Kingdom

What an unusual building for a church, if it wasn't for the cross this could be a hotel! I like the light and shade in this.

I like the tones and the juxtaposition of the organic shape of the tree branches against the geometric architecture.

Charles from New York, United States

Different perspective through the trees...I like it Nice shot.

That's a lovely bit of framing there, JJ. The architectural slant is amazing, there must be some wonderful views from those balconies.

The powerful symbol of faith matching the clear blue sky, is a very nice touch. Superb

Is that building in the background a part of the church? It looks more like a condo tower with the balconies. Either way, nice shot.

A modern church. I've never seen on like this one before

Graham Russon from Cape Town, South Africa

Great symmetry and lines in this one.

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States

This is terrific 'layering' of another kind. The juxtaposition of the church against the modern building, makes the church look 'other worldly' in a sense.
A GREAT CAPTURE!

a nice silhouette framing with the trees. Cool shot. God bless.

Looking through the trees really makes this scene, ended up seeing more, how strange. Triangles and pyramids and church , very strange mix. Well done.
