Chapel Bells and St. Francis
Today my daughter attended her Confirmation Retreat. They ended their day at the little chapel on the campus of Lourdes College. While waiting for her to finish, I snapped a few photos. This is the top of the little chapel, with its three red bells. The cross gets rather lost amongst all the branches - I want to come back when the trees are full and see if it makes a difference in the shot. The sky really was this color blue today - we finally had a break from cold, gray days!
The statue below depicts St. Francis of Assisi and the wolf at Gubbio. Legend says St. Francis tamed a wild wolf that had been terrorizing the town, using his gift of communing with nature and all God's creatures. The statue is quite dark and I felt the details showed up better in monochrome. You can just make out the corner of the chapel above in the background of this shot.
Great Shot works great in black and white.
