I am lucky to live in a city with its own cathedral - der ulmer Münster (Ulm Cathedral). It is impressive. It is old. It is filled with detail. It is architectural delight.

I often go out an shoot the cathedral. I wait for a day with some sun and try to go out at the right time to capture shadows and light.  I usually take shots of parts of the whole i.e. the whole from a distance. This time I focused a bit closer up.

Despite the haze, there's still light

A bottle of water and sun

  Even when it seems completely bleak, there's still a flicker of light

Hope

 

And out of the darkness we begin to see things a little more clearly
