Such beauty. Thanks for sharing.


Thank you. Much of the beauty is due to superb workmanship that continued from 1919 to 2017! Would love to hear the stories of some of the stonemasons and artists who created the mosaics.

Those are fantastic photos. You know what to shoot, when to shoot, and the right angles. Love the shot that appears to have been taken with the camera on the ground. Am heading to a monastery where I do some work tomorrow to Sunday. You've given me some great ideas. Thank you.

Located on the campus of Catholic University in Washington, D.C. NE, very near the Washington Hospital Center complex, the Shrine is the largest Catholic Church in North America. In addition to the main church that can seat 10,000 and the somewhat smaller crypt chapel in the basement there are seventy side-chapels almost all of which are ethnic. I was in D.C. a week ago to celebrate Mass for the Slovenian community that meets for Mass on the first Sunday of every month. Having been there before but never with my current photographic equipment I went over almost two hours before Mass so as to wander around with the camera (and figure out the process for using the small chapel). My next trip to D.C. will include a full day free so as to return with camera and a few batteries. It is unlikely I would be able to stay after it closes to do some shooting in the dark with candle illumination.

Used EM 1 mk ii with either the 12-40 or 40-150 f 2.8 lens. Shooting manual and RAW. ISO varied with conditions.

Beautiful series frjack; it brings back memories of attending a mass there in the early 1980's.

Thanks for looking and commenting. I first went there in 2002 when I worked at Georgetown. A few years later I took a Chinese Jesuit there. When he thanked me as we drove back to Georgetown he added, "It would not have been a real visit to the U.S. if you hadn't brought me here." The Chinese don't have a chapel. The mosaic of Our Lady of China was dedicated in 2002.
