[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo was taken from our classroom. From its windows you can see the Bishop's Cathedral of Our Lady. In the picture you can see its cupola and the Hungarian flag onthe building of the school.
I'd be pleased if you told me your opinions about the photo!

Some words about the cathedral:
The construction of the most monumental building in Vác began in 1760 in late Baroque style according to the plans of Pilgram. It was eventually completed between 1761 and 1770 in an early Classicist style, designed by Isidore Canevale.
The high altarpiece was constructed in 1774 and depicts the Visitation of the Virgin Mary with St Elizabeth. It is the work of Maulbertsch as is the fresco in the cupola (1770-71) that depicts the triumph of the Trinity.
Part of a balustrade originating from the former Bishop's Cathedral was incorporated into the Renaissance sanctuary balustrade. The side altars and pews were made in Baroque style around 1775.
Beneath the entire length of the church is a crypt divided into three sections for the tombs of bishops, canons, and lay people.
This house of worship consecrated to Our Lady is the fifth cathedral building since the foundation of the bishopric. The cathedral may be visited upon prior arrangement.

Hello Martin,
I really like the contrast between the colourful flag and the black and white post processing. Sharp, well exposed and composed, an excellent image. Thank you for posting.
Regards, Roger.

Szia Marci!

Remek kép, kiváló PP-munka, a magyar zászló mint belső keret pedig hab a tortán. Grat és üdv Laci
