Spirit of the Stone

I chose to capture the cathedral in black and white because I felt that the shades of gray bring out the old texture of the stone much better than any color. It's an image of solidity and tranquility. I love how the rigid lines of the architecture are lost in that dense sky, giving the impression that the edifice is not just a building, but a presence that has been watching over the city for generations. It's that moment of monumental silence that makes you stop in your tracks for a moment.
