Triple Calvaire Photo

Photographer’s Note

Three crosses (triple calvaire) on the hill Puy de Sarran in Corrèze, Limousin.

The lighting and the 'crepuscular rays' of sunlight add to the symbology of the shot, especially as they are sometimes referred to as the fingers of god.

Hi Rod,

Yes, I do see the symbolism as well in the crosses and the background light. Very nice!

Hello Rod,
A mysterious - or should I say spiritual ? - atmosphere well captured with the profile of the crosses against a dark but lively sky with the falling rays so well captured.
Regards,
Paul
