Looks really nice, but perhaps not very North American in its style. Maybe it's also your art of photographing?

I am loving this photo. I took some recently of the Basilica of St. Lawrence in my town, but this one has alot more "character". Very nice.

One of your best, DL. Beautiful structure and the way you photographed it adds to its beauty.
