Hi Achim,
Visually quite interesting modern church, I like those round forms. Not the first thing one would expect to see in Western Africa.
seeing black nuns dressed in white make interesting 'negative' effect.

Hello Achim,
The nuns contribute much to the mood and clearly put everything in context. Good capture of this rather modern looking Cathedral.

Bonjour, mon ami Achim,
Deux photos présentées, deux photos très réussies et très intéressantes (il est vrai que le sujet m'intéresse particulièrement).
J'aime beaucoup l'ambiance traduite à travers la composition.
Quant au vitrail : superbe !
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Achim,
what a surprising and daring architecture. Not very usual for churches nowadays.
Spectacular.
Regards, gerrit

Hi Achim,

The presence of the nuns has an effect of scale. The point of view is allowing us to see the details and colors of the modern architecture of the cathedral. The subject is well framed. The cloudy is filtering the light which has a good effect on the colors. have a nice day.

Ciao dear Achim,
unbelievable and curious architecture for a church in Africa. A beautiful demonstration that the good architects there are in all the world. Very pleasant the presence of the two nuns that animate well the scene. Compliments!
Ciao, have a nice day!

Hi Achim,

Fascinating example of modern architecture.
Very surprising to see such architecture in Ivory coast. The glass mosaic is also very beautiful. It is good to see the authentic African culture in the desighn.

Hi, Achim.
Great geometrics and light management, the presence of those two nuns plays a key role in terms of scale as well as in tying everything together. A shot that seems to grow the more I look at it, TFS! It's pretty late now, so... have a good day tomorrow, I'll be seeing you.
Fulvio.

Bonne soirée

Hello Achim,

It's a pity that you did not have a better light for the superb stained glass than you show us in WS. A resolutely modern cathedral in its architecture. I like the two nuns on the photograph. Beautiful and interesting photograph, thank you Achim.

With all my friendships and a very good evening,

Jean-Charles

Hallo Achim,
eine sehr interessante und originelle Kathedrale. (Ich kann mir nur nicht vorstellen, wie sie mit ihrer Umgebung harmonisiert - solch ein invetiöser Architekt, der so was entwerfen kann, hat aber sicherlich darauf geachtet.) Die Nonnen machen die etwas futuristische Szene besser vorstellbar.
Viele Grüße
