It's been an interesting week of gargoyles, ghouls and ghosties. And the last three days of "unchurched" chimeras, culminating in this monster needed to be balanced. This statue, at the bottom of a long hill leading to the Church of Our Lady Immaculate in Guelph is the antidote I (and perhaps you too) need, especially on this All Saints Day.
I hope you have enjoyed your visit and I welcome your comments on this and on the series that lead up to yesterday.

Hello Silke,
this is very nice. Your main subject stands in a beautiful light. Very well composed with the frontal view of the statue with the OOF church in the BG. Very well done.

Hallo Silke,
ein herrliches Portrait zeigst Du uns hier, ein sehr gutes Bild mit klasse Belichtung und die unscharfe Kirche im Hintergrund unterstreicht noch die Schärfe des Portraits.
Super hast Du es gemacht, gratuliere.
Liebe Grüsse
Eva

Intresting places to see in Ontario. Like this one

Brilliant perspective! I pass the Church of Our Lady very often and although I've taken a few shots that are on TrekEarth, this angle never occured to me. What a fantastic foreground and a very daring way to balance the shot. Thanks for the inspiration!!! I hope you don't mind if I return to the Church and try a similar angle out myself.

Like a saint who escape the Chuch!
PLease!! Take me in your house! Being a statue in a church is so borring! I never saw a home theatre of my life!
:)
The angle is well taken! Photo speak!
