What is it about churches, temples, cathedrals and similar structures? I’m drawn to them for some reason and it isn’t for the religion. The obvious answer that the universe would scream back at me is “It’s the architecture stupid!!” And if its an abandoned church, well………………..
I captured this photo inside the Catedral San Juan Bautista in Old San Juan Puerto Rico.

MJ and I have looked
at this church a number of times in the past. We finally took a few minutes to go inside and it was
amazing. This is a Roman Catholic
cathedral in Old San Juan Puerto Rico.
It is the 2nd oldest cathedral in the Americas. It was built in 1521 and then destroyed
by a hurricane. It was rebuilt in
1540 with renovations taking place over the years. Interesting fact:
the cathedral contains a tomb of the Spanish explorer and settlement
founder Juan Ponce de Leon.
Photo Technique:
I took this with my Nikon D800 and my 14-24mm 2.8f lens. I used my tripod and thankfully no one ran me out. I captured this with a 5 exposure auto-bracket set and merged them together with Photomatix Pro. I edited the image in Photoshop CS6.
