While the outside of the cathedral can be quite deceiving, I was blown away by the light that entered this holy place. For .00000005 seconds I thought about how cool it would be to be a Catholic. The wall in Santo Domingo Cathedral is just stunning.
Travel Photography Friday – Wall in Santo Domingo Cathedral, Oaxaca
I was born Catholic, not so cool, haha! But, lovely pic!!!
Sometimes I have a similar thought, like when I hear really cool Gregorian chanting or happen into a particularly impressive cathedral. And then I’m like, WHAT?!? I’ll just get the cd, thanks. 😉
Ahhh yes that church was BEAUTIFUL!!!
You continue to challenge me to step up my photo game… keep rockin it.
raised “easter & christmas” catholic. just spend time feeling guilty about everything and you’re all set! 😉 lol. holy gilded glowing gold- it’s blinding! great pic 🙂
Beautiful photo! It’s so ornate. I felt the same way about the Vatican. It was so beautiful and opulent that at first I thought I might be missing out on something…but that feeling quickly passed 🙂
@Andi: HAHA! It would still make an interesting place to go to church. It could keep you entertained for hours looking at all the details!
@Christy: I’m just like – wow, what a different way to experience religion. I’m not religious by any means but still… it is interesting. 😀
@Jaime: I still get goosebumpy looking at the pic!
@Nick: Thank you! It has DEFINITELY been a work in progress.
@Lorna: Yeah…. the gold is EVERYWHERE in Mexico
Oh my gosh. I LOVE the intro to the photo. It tells a little story, too! Pretty cathedral!
@Emily: At least I am not alone in the fleeting feeling!
Churches are prone to good photos as so many of them have so many details to de admired!
@D: <3 I was really impressed!
@Fede: The low light just kills me sometimes!
My room is totally decked out in gold like that. WORD.
Beautiful!
@Hogga: Your room sounds sexy.
@Sarah: Thanks! The light was so fantastic.
