Cathedral Square

| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
The Anglican cathedral of Christ Church in Christchurch was built in the second half of the 19th century. It is located in the centre of the city, surrounded by the plaza of Cathedral Square.
The cathedral spire reaches to 63 metres above Cathedral Square. Public access to the spire provides for a good viewpoint over the centre of the city. The spire has three times been damaged by earthquakes. After the third of these, in 1901, the stone construction was replaced with a more resilient surface of weathered copper sheeting.
The Chalice, the sculpture in the foreground, celebrates the new millennium and the 150th Anniversary of the founding of Christchurch.

As well as the clever use of shapes, I particularly like the contrast of the red and blue highlights. There is more to this photograpgh than initially meets the eye. Thank you for posting.
Witaj Henryk! Excellent composition of the opposite cones, very clever! Colours and light are very harmonical. Thanks for sharing! Pozdrawiam, Chris
