Was the ceiling preserved? I’ve seen some churches with stainless steel ceilings despite the nice antique exterior.
The shot is majestic, the clouds serve as a strong counterbalance against the hard and imposing presence of the church.
nah benj, the interior’s new. its just so sad that the interiors were not preserved
