A place to be meditative
Inside the Chapel at Mission San Xavier Del Bac, Tucson. It was quite dim inside; I cranked my ISO setting as high as it would go. The amount of detail in the altar is amazing. For a larger picture and some history, you can read here. When we walked through the door posted earlier in this blog, this is the view that greeted us.

Perfect on content, and as ornate as all get out. So much going on!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many details -- I would find it hard to pick a place to focus because I'd want it all. You did a nice job capturing this. I could just sit and look and look and look! I think you definitely found a great place to meditate.
ReplyDeleteHow ornate and detailed, I love it! This image is so rich in textures and patterns that it is mesmerizing.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I look at it I see something new! Brilliant for meditative!
wow very interesting, so much to see and such great detail!
ReplyDeleteWow, wow, wow! Those intricate carvings are exquisite! I think I'd be too distracted by all that beauty to be meditative! Great shot!
ReplyDeleteAmazing detail in the carvings. The decorations for Christmas add a nice amount of color.
ReplyDeleteLike Madelaine, I think I'd find so much detail to be distracting, but I bet when you were there it had a sense of serenity that overcame the business. Good job handling that low light.
ReplyDeleteThe Elephant Cave on Bali has this ornateness, but it is a good place to conyrmplate one's navel.
ReplyDeleteI'd be distracted for sure, something or some saint for every body! This is a fine shot in tricky light.
