Light and Shadows

Mar 30, 2025 - Recently, I did a walkabout in my hometown, Belleville, Illinois, to capture some of its unique architecture. It was one of those days when the midday sun created really challenging, high-contrasty shadows. While I was out shooting, I stumbled upon the Cathedral of Saint Peter, which is located near the city center. It’s an amazing building with so many unique and rich architextural characteristics. I took this image of a side entrance and love the way the light filtered through its archways and illuminated the side wall of the building. It was truly remarkable, a moment of unexpected beauty during my walk.
