14,000? I wonder if attendance at Christmas and Easter is as overflowing in this church as it is in so many other churches around the world...?
Rey, you've composed and captured this in such a way that the church's massive size is apparent from the other, smaller domes grouped around the huge one. You make it look so easy to display such things in their finest light. Well done once again, my friend. #11288163
