Where they rarely need churches Photo

Photographer’s Note

.. if one concludes from the idea that the poor and the distraught need hope and faith more than the rich and the pampered. But the rich need the day to day comfort too, and in the end they need to save their souls just as same as the "little man" ("You may be a king, or a little street sweeper, but sooner or later, you dance with the reaper").

If you believe in such things.

On the other hand the church was consecrated long before the hustle and bustle came to Monaco, so it might just be too important to tear it down for a new apartment block.

Saint Nicholas Cathedral.

Hello Miha,
A lot of art with exquisite architecture. The light is magnificent and we can see very well all the details. The frame is centered and flanked by palm trees gives life to the image. Nice work my friend.
Best regards,
Charo

Hello Miha
I see you have gone to where the rich and famous hang out ;-), beautiful church, how old is this do you know? I don't think I have seen a church with palm trees hanging outside - maybe California. Great detail and muted colours from the lighting here. Well seen and presented.
Regards
Jim

Zdravo Miha druže,

nisam ni sumnjao da ćeš i u Monako, kao iskusni svetski putnik. Impresioniran si ovom katedralom, kao i mi. Pogledom iz bliza uspeo si da prikažeš kompletnu fasadu sa mnogo detalja. Vrlo jasan prikaz uprkos tome da je sunce iza leđa. Pažljivo sam pročitao i notu.
Time si prekinuo podužu pauzu, a dozvolio si da te čitava planeta čeka. Uvek si dobrodošao i sa nestrpljenjem čekamo naredne slike. Puno pozdrava i želja,

Branko

Oj!

Si že šel volt? :P Najprej maša, potem volišče al kako že :) Tako da nekako je tale slikca v duhu danajšnjega dne. :) Resnično zanimivo...ko sem bila v Monacu sem si zapomnila marsikaj, vsekakor cerkev ni bila ena od teh stvari. :) Svetloba ti je bila zelo naklonjena in lepo diskretno osvetljuje detajle ter palme v ospredju. Slika deluje zelo pestro in sveže, skupaj z napisanim pa je enkratna. :)

Lepo nedeljo ti želim,
Jeri

hi Miha

Rich man, poor man. Interesting note about your thoughts but for someone like me who has never set foot to Monaco can only read about it from books or tv or your photo. The architecture detail here is very obvious with the stone brick construction style.

Hello Miha,
i like your philosophical disquiet about the rich ones that are so many in Monaco.Nice presentation of Saint Nicholas Cathedral with the specific architectural line as the great POV that create a perfect contrast.The sharpness and the clarity are unique.Well done.

Hello Hiha,
It is true that the rich should need less to believe and of hope. Nevertheless it is necessary to look after their reputation and to have for that of the churches, with the beautiful frontages in addition. Good work.
Have a nice evening

Hi Miha,
A very good photo of the facade of this church, really good quality. The light is also really beautiful and the blue sky is a great background. I like the palm trees on both sides too, well included. Thanks for sharing!
Regards,
Lars

Hi Miha,
your note is really fascinating. And the perspective of this interesting church is great! But most of all I like the framing by the palm trees. Nice work!
Warm regards
Harriet

Hello Miha,
an excellent composition of the building. Great details and lovely colours of the sky.
POV enhances the grandness of the church and the palm trees
give a splendid natural framing.
Well done and it is well balanced.

Regards,
Foozi

Cao Miha, kako je? Evo mene posle duze pauze opet na TE :)
Svidja mi se ova fotka zbog arhitekture i sunca na palminom liscu, prava mediteranska!
