The Chapel Of The Holy Cross
This amazing concrete structure is an architectural marvel built into the majestic red rocks of Sedona Arizona USA. The image was captured on film using a pentax 6x7-2 medium format camera and is being entered in daveks bw photo contest themed churches.
The Chapel Of The Holy Cross was Inspired and commissioned by a local rancher sculptor Marguerite Staude who was inspired by the Empire State Building and wanted such a church. Construction was completed in 1956 at a cost of $300.000. After winning an architectural award in 1957 the artist said " though catholic in faith, as a work of art the Chapel has a universal appeal. Its doors will ever be open to one and all, regardless of creed, that god may come to life in the souls of men and become a living reality". The Chapel is run by The Roman Catholic Diocese of Phoenix as a part of St John Vianney Parish in Sedona Arizona USA.
This photo of Hale-Bopp Comet is about as rare as it gets. Because the comet won't be back again for another 2000 years. This is my second entry the bw photo contest and it also was captured on film but with a 35mm Pentax camera.
Those shots both look pretty epic in black and white! Awesome work. Good luck in the contest! Oh and.. Darn another 2000 years?! Guess I won't be getting a Hale Bopp comet shot! Lol. Maybe another comet will bless us with it's presence though before my life is over, I'd love to get some comet shots some day! That'd be cool.
Thanks Paul! You never know maybe it will happen again all of a sudden like. Hale-bopp was discovered only two years before it showed up.
Wow, the comet photo brings back fond memories and is an excellent photo. Thanks for sharing.
That's good to hear I'm glad you enjoyed it, cause I'm happy to share it.

I love the black and white chapel photography, the second picture is spectacular with the comet and the stars, you deserve a big photography prize for capturing the comet in that image at the precise moment. Good luck in the B & W contest.
