A part of me wants the concept of heaven to be true. To fly up into bright blue skies and live amongst the clouds. Alas, reason and rationality have the majority control in my mind, delegating such fantasy to my dreams.

Old and new, and a cottonwool sky. Angle gets it all & the brown against blue gives two-tonal composition.

It's not the church and sky, but what is interposed between church and sky that gives this photo its depth and dissonance. (Not to mention all sorts of interesting metaphorical implications!)

I like the contrast between old and new, the sky is really cool, I liked the feeling of movement of the clouds, nice angle!

I like it a lot. Like the contrast between blue and brown, the composition and the sharpness!

Great idea to make the buildings diagonal - it gives such a force of movement towards the infinite sky.

Great contrast between old and new! The angle and the cloudy sky definitely add a movement feeling to the whole composition. Well done!

The image is spectacular. Your commentary is endearing. The sky can only be described as "heavenly". I really love it!!!

I know what you mean, but really, as Mark Twain said: Heaven for the weather, Hell for the company.
