Our Lady of La Leche., a photo from Florida, South

Photographer's Note

Petite chapelle recouverte de lierre à l'ombre des arbres rebâtie en 1915 sur les ruines de l'ancienne (1600) détruite par des attaques. Ce lieu fut choisi par les colons Espagnols pour célébrer la Vierge qui allaite.
Légère compression des densités par HDR.

In the early 1600s the Spanish settlers of St. Augustine established the first Shrine to the Blessed Virgin Mary in the United States. It was damaged by attacks.
This vines-covered one was built in 1915 is now shaded by the canopy so I had to use light tone mapping.

Hi Robert,
Lovely chapel surrounded by lush tropical green and clinging to the charming house of worship.
Great contrast between the the vivid blue sky and the lush green.
Regards, Tom

Bonjour Robert
Un clic intéressant sur cette chapelle originale.
L'utilisation en HDR n'est pas imposante et cela évite des pertes de contraste.
Bien cordialement

Bonjour Robert,

C'est à ton tour de présenter une autre belle petite chapelle avec son habit de lierre qui lui confère un cachet bien particulier. Très bon angle de prise de vue dans toute cette verdure. Le beau ciel est un atout. Ici aussi, les activités sur le perron sont limitées.

Meilleures salutations

Jacques

Hello Robert,
very nice the view of the church facade with the vines-covered plants to make it so attractive and unique.I like the surrounding dense greenery and trees, as the light management of the image.

Hi Robert,
An incredible vegetation covers the whole scene, big trees canopy from above - so not much of light coming through, and a little amount still come from backwards - but yet, you managed to show a wonderful location.
Lovely shot, nice place.
Enjoy a nice weekend.
Ike

Hello Robert,

Looks like a green church covered with vines. The surrounding s are also very nice with green lush. The blue sky makes a nice contrast. Very nicely captured with sharpness.
