wonderful shot, Kris!!
i don't think we have that tradition... no washing? hmmm..i wonder why. interesting. :)
Never heard nothing about it, is this an Eastern Orthodox church tradition?
maiylah : perhaps its a superstition? .. am really not sure either :D
nuno : i did check in wiki, read here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentecost
Lovely shot. It's a public holiday here too although no one knows why
I wish it was a holiday - no chance of that! I need to suggest this very important day to our politicians! ;)
Great shot, Kris...I've tried many times in European cathedrals but never got the details as well as you did...beautiful!
Really pretty picture!
hmm...I had never heard of it until reading your post.
Nice shot!
ps You asked to see the tops, and today I'm showing the tops.
It is a holiday just in Barcelona city and not in neighbouring towns. If there is a tradition I ignore it. Your cathedral shot is amazingly good.
Unfamiliar with the holiday, but beautiful photo!
Nice warm photo in contrast to yesterday, it's beautiful!
I see that the holiday is new to most of us.. heheh,as long as it's holiday, it's good thing :D
Thank you all for dropping by :)
Great photo!
About the washing: in Holland we've got that too. Since its a religious celebrating of the coming of the holy spirit in the world after Christ going to heaven on Easter it's like all sundays: no working on the day of the Lord they say out here.
Groet, Johanna
thanks Johanna for the explanation, that clear my question :)
Amazing color and beautiful composition. I think the new format really brings out your work...
wow - what an amazing picture... really beautiful.
