Picture 21 of 31 from Album Single in August

Standing proud - For some reason the majority of my images this month are portrait orientation. This is no exception. I see this German Lutheran church regularly on my way home and today the sky was just right to provide a dramatic backdrop. It was nice in colour but the B&W brings out more of the detail.

Excellent B&W photo, and you are absolutely right about the sky, indeed adds drama to the photo!

An outstanding B&W architecture shot. Yes, the sky certainly adds a lot to the photo as well.

The cross actually has a thin neon trim but it isn't really visible in daylight.

That is a really strong conversion Joe. I like how you turned the blue all black, it gives a powerful mood to the image :-)
Oh and thanks for covering for me! :-D

NEver realized that about the orientation, but revisiting your album and your right! - The sky is really great in this, and the building is a work of art in itself. Good capture.
