A third view of the picturesque church of St. Magdalena in the Val di Funes, Italy. The hills are covered in yellow dandelions and those jagged peaks in the background are the Dolomites.

Heiligenblut Fairy Tale

The mountain town of Heiligenblut, Austria. We drove through here on our way from Salzburg to Lienz; it was just before tourist season so the whole town was amazingly peaceful. A little bit about the area:

Situated in the high-Alpine region of the Hohe Tauern mountain range at 1,288 meters, Heiligenblut is located at the foot of the Großglockner, the highest mountain in Austria, and the Pasterze Glacier. The Gothic pilgrimage church of Saint Vinzenz, with its needle spire, was built between 1460-1491 and contains a relic of Christ’s Holy Blood. According to legend the relic, which is kept in a sacrament house, was brought there in 914 from Constantinople by the Danish knight Briccius. On his way home he was buried by an avalanche and his corpse was found where three ears of wheat broke through the snow. The church also houses a late-Gothic winged altarpiece from 1520, and a crypt and tomb containing the remains of Briccius.

Looks best in large!

The Italian Dolomites towering over the church of St. Magdalena. There wasn't a single other tourist in sight when we drove through this valley.

This is the interior of the dome of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, Italy. I was lucky that we were there around 3pm, when the sun shines strongly through the windows.

The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore is the cathedral church (Duomo) of Florence, Italy, begun in 1296 in the Gothic style to the design of Arnolfo di Cambio and completed structurally in 1436 with the dome engineered by Filippo Brunelleschi.

The basilica is one of Italy's largest churches, and until the modern era, the dome was the largest in the world. It remains the largest brick dome ever constructed.

Shot from the Piazzale Michelangelo. It's a really great spot that provides sweeping views of the entire city. If only I had a wider lens at the time...

Two church doorways in the West Village after a snowstorm. I used a bleach bypass effect to make this look especially gloomy.
