Cloudy Day ~ by Linda

November 29, 2021
We ended up not going to Phoenix last week as planned. We stayed home and got some things done around the house. And that felt good to get those chores behind us. Marty did hit a Southern Drag Boat Association speed record for his class at 209 MPH. I hope that all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving full of gratitude, happiness and love.

This is image was made on a cloudy day at the Our Lady of Loreto Chapel at the Presidio de la Bahia, near the current day town of Goliad, Texas. Located in a niche above the chapel entrance, and featured here is the statue of the Lady of Loreto sculpted by Lincoln Borghum, of Mt. Rushmore fame. The chapel is the oldest building in the compound and has been in continuous use since the 1700s. The exterior of the chapel is simple yet beautiful. The interior is lovely.

“For the bells are the voice of the church; they have tones that touch and search the hearts of young and old.” ~ Henry Wadworth Longfellow

Thank you for your comments and critiques, I do appreciate them very much!

Have a beautiful week!

    Interesting to see the weather worn and discoloured walls yet see the colourful statue in the niche. It has clearly fared better than the stonework. Fine composition too ! 209 mph, now that is really moving like a rocket.......

    Superb shot Linda and a wonderful old chapel! I love the stone architecture and the beautiful statue.

    Love the contrast between the lovely statue and the hard, roughly texture stone of the building. Looks like a memorable place to visit. Well captured Linda. Glad Marty did well in terms of speed record at the event.

    Great perspective of the bell, Lady of Loreto, and crosses.... I love the dark, rustic color of this chapel. Very interesting story of how the statue was sculpted.

    Linda, You did a terrific job composing this photo with the stone church in the foreground and the cloudy sky in the background.
