I had to take an unexpected trip to my home town (Sioux Falls) on Friday. While there I revisited the St. Joseph Cathedral Church for some needed quiet time. I explained to the tour guide that I now lived out of town but have loved this building since childhood and would really love to have a few shots for my collection. She open the door and let me roam freely, allowing me to photograph anything I wanted!!! She then went on to explain to my husband that there was a "private" sanctuary in the back where 24 hour prayer was being offered and that I was more than welcome to go in as long as I remained SILENT. Being given this rare opportunity really made the whole visit for me!
Now for the facts:
St. Joseph Cathedral was built in 1889 and was remodeled in 1902 and again in 1972, where it has remained the same since...however remodeling is scheduled again for the year 2005..
I am not a big fan of huge sets and feel as tho some may not even look at them all, but in the instance I am sharing the whole bunch at one time.. Please view them all, there are some great ones at the end...
some very good pics here, Penny.
yeah... we're leaving, but you can still view our works @ http://fzfamilypics.fotopages.com which is in different mood.
Fabulous lighting and lovely perspective !! Always love the colour of the stain glass windows . Re: The Magic Kingdom picture is made up of 3 different shots taken on normal setting actually ( P ). Nothing special. Rather new to the camera at the time so I was just snapping away to form a longer picture to be edited ( joined ) later on Btw, your Rivers Edge entry is sooooo romantic.. aaaah
