Italian Chapel
Super hectic day today, so no time for a photo shoot. Instead, I have more pictures from Saturday's shoot at Lourdes College. This is the little chapel that the bells in Saturday's post are part of. It's a replica of a chapel in Italy.
It's absolutely tiny and perfectly intimate. Filled with relics and gold as well as colored glass chandeliers with candles, stained glass windows, and a stone floor. There are only four small pews and a kneeler at the altar that spans the very back of the building. It's a dedicated place of silence and many people - both Franciscan nuns and lay persons come to pray there every day. There's a tiny library of books that are free for the taking in the entrance way.
The shot below is a monochrome shot of the tiled roof. Many of the buildings on campus sport tiled roofs just like this one. The property (simultaneously campus and convent) is truly a beautiful place.

What a gorgeous little chapel... I love the architecture and the fact that it is a replica of one in Italy. I like the perspective and your composition here. Seems to have lots of little details and textures, such as the roof tiles! I like the way you captured the repeating pattern of the ceramic tiles in your b/w too!
