Walking the streets of New York City is a photographer’s Disney World. Everywhere you look, there is a great shot, whether it be people or buildings. I especially love taking shots of the buildings when they get that warm glow from a fading sun. It’s hard not to walk the streets and be constantly looking up for “the shot”. Of course, doing that can be very dangerous when walking crowded sidewalks or crossing streets.
On this particular day, I was heading to St Patrick’s Cathedral to take some shots inside the church. As I approached the cathedral, I noticed the golden glow in the building beside it. As I looked at the spires that were mostly in the shade, I thought that the contrast between the two structures made a wonderful image.
I love the POV here man, I didn’t make it to St. Patrick’s last time I was there, but I will next time. Great shot Len.

Great study in contrasts Len! The Gothic architecture of St Patrick’s versus the modern office block behind as well as the two different light sources for the buildings.

Great shot. I always loved St. Patrick’s when I grew up near the city. The inside is even more incredible.
Wow Len what a beautiful shot! Great job.
That’s a great take on this iconic church!

Awesome shot, Len.
Really like the tones and texture of this. I agree, NYC is a photographer’s playground.
Nice work, man!

Great POV, the light as you rightly say is golden and so appropriate for shots like this. The mix and contrast of shape and age works so sell. Just watch your step Len, that would be an expensive tumble if your camera hits the floor first!
