Beautiful as always, David. Love your interior shots especially.
Now catching up on my responses.
Hi, blacks2! Thanks for the nice comment and the 5 thumbs. I’m pleased you liked it.
jederick, always good to see you. Thank you very much. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Mike, I appreciate your attitude, but I’m not a business man and would flop.
Earnest, your approval is very welcome. I’m happy you enjoyed it.
Hereford, thanks for coming. I’m pleased you enjoyed my pictures. I do have many memories of my singing—I’ve sung in church choirs since I was 9 years old, and in a couple of community choruses, too. Here in Dallas I’ve been in my church choir for 40 years and sang with a college chorus for 27 years before stopping a couple of years ago (got to be too much for me logistically). COVID has put all my musical activities on hold, unfortunately, which includes the choir and 2 handbell groups. We hope those will be back in business soon.
Jay, thanks a lot. I like it when folks enjoy my pictures.
John, I appreciate your nice comments. Where in Michigan are you? I grew up in Detroit, 1942-1960. Then went into the Air Force and spent 20 years all over. Retired in 1980 and ended up in Dallas.

Siena, Italy – the Siena Duomo (Basilica)
Both of the choral groups I have sung with made tours of Italy some years ago. The church choir went in 2003 and the college chorus in 2006. I was using some Nikon film SLRs in 2003 and a D50 DSLR in 2006. This set will use the better photos from both tours. I have not gone back and reprocessed these to correct perspective, etc., so bear with me.

Bubalola, thanks for coming! I appreciate your nice comment. You're welcome--I like to share.
Xmsmn, I don't think I've seen you before. Thank you very much. I'm sorry that your travel plans were interrupted. Do persevere. You're welcome, and I'm glad you enjoyed them.
What fortuitously bright light conditions. These are truly marvelous as photos and as documentary recordings. Getting is right, again!

Thanks, Craig. I appreciate your nice comments!
Very nice photos of a beautiful cathedral. The pandemic has surely changed our daily lives, hasn’t it? No rehearsals, no group singing. I too am missing being in our church choir, playing in our chime choir, and singing in another community choral group. We’ll get back!
srfmhg, nice to see you. Thanks for the nice comment.
lnl, thank you very much. It is a lovely place. I'm sorry you are experiencing the same withdrawals as I am.
