Photographer’s Note

Catedral del Buen Pastor :
Work started on the Cathedral in 1889. It was architect Manuel Echave's project, but during the building process several modifications were made. The new temple opened in 1897.

The building is neo-gothic in style. It has three naves; the centre is the tallest, and it turns into five at the presbytery. The walls are of masonry stone, reinforced on the outside with buttresses. The height and interior space of this cathedral are exceptional. It is the biggest church in San Sebastián and well situated, surrounded by gardens and forming an interesting religious axis with the Santa María Basilica which is just opposite. A Chillida sculpture has been placed above the main entrance.

Mass times: - Weekdays 9am, 10am, 11am & 7.30pm. - Sundays and holidays 9am, 10am, 11am, midday, 1.30pm & 6pm. - Saturdays and vespers 7pm & 8pm.

Hola Jose, it looks like a space ship ready for take off !
A good night shot, exposure is great, fine architecture details can be seen, maybe it could be just a little bit sharper (or my eyes are tired already...)
I missed that one when I was in Donostia.

A little bit short on the top. Thats my only comment here and the overall photo was great. This is my weakness, taking picture @ night.

Beautiful night shot. I was browsing through the thumbnail gallery and this one stood out immediately. Nice detail and I love the infinity feeling as you look higher. Great shot.

Hi Jose

Excellent graphic qualities of this impressive well lit cathedral against the dark night sky. Well done!

Una muy buena foto, una simetría perfecta. La simetría, aunque es una forma de composición muy recurrida, no por eso deja de sorprender en algunas fotos.
Yo la utilizo con mucha frecuencia. Si quieres ver algunas:
