Photographer’s Note

Cathedral Of The Immaculate Conception
----------------------------------------
And along our journey through the beautiful land santandereanas, and again by publicizing the architectural wealth of churches and cathedrals, we return to charming city of Barichara.

As we said in previous deliveries, for many years in this town known for its streets and keep certain monuments, such as which were conceived in stone.

And of course, their most important religious symbol, could not be the exception.

In 1,702 appears the image of the Immaculate Conception of Mary on a rock lime. At the same site was erected a chapel built footprint of wall, tile and little adornment to worship the Virgin. At around the first houses were built.

At the time, this small chapel, with the thrust of Dr. Martin Pradilla and Ayerbe, became a temple.

By the year 1,802 died Dr. Pradilla and is buried in the presbytery of the temple, which already received the name of the Temple of the Immaculate Conception of Barichara, now regarded as one of the most beautiful of Colombia, paying particular attention to the work in stone and that the ten monolithic columns the claim.

Hello John,
A very beautiful architecture picture. Perhaps an unusual POV (not taken at the frontside) but it shows the cathedral and its towers very well. Sharp well detailed picture.
Best regards, Paul

Hola John,
Una bonita Papagolfade (es el nombre que los francófonos dan a las iglesias en TE) sobre un cielo azul con bonitas nubes.
Me gusta la inclusión de una pequeña tecla de verde.
La puerta abierta parece ser una invitación a entrar.
Un abrazo. Te deseo un buen fin de semana.
Marianne

Hola John,
It distorts a bit in the far end but from an exposure, light and angle approach point of view it is excellent.
Have a nice day JY

You have taken this image in excellent light, which shows the beautiful stonework to good advantage with very good detail. The perspective view works well in the composition.

Olá John,
uma catedral muito bonita essa, e o contraste dela com o céu ficou fantástico. Gostei desse POV também, fugindo da tradicional visão frontal de igrejas.
Parabéns e Abraço

Hola John,
me gusta el encuadre y el ángulo que escogiste para esta toma, es dinámico y nos ofrece una excelente y profunda perspectiva, en la que las diagonales de la fachada hacia la derecha se combinan con la verticalidad de las dos torres.
Magnífica luz y bellos colores, el cielo como fondo está perfecto, y la imagen es muy nítida.
Buen trabajo, amigo.
Un abrazo,
Josep
