Cathedral of Learning and School
It’s dark in the morning on the way to school and you know how I like to shoot at red lights. Saw the Cathedral peeking through the driveway as I looked to the left out the driver’s window. Then when I got to school in Arlington the sun was coming up and I could see the Cathedral in the distance. The school buses lined up, waiting to let the children get off to go inside for breakfast.

Thanks for visiting the blog today. Comments are always nice to receive but just looking is great, too.
the only artist I know who returned to his scene again and again was Monet …… also a “Cathedral” at Rouen! I think he changed the times of his visits to record the changing light … or his “impressions” (haha). Love to know more about Senor Felix … and if he took his cue from Monet???? You must to do a photo-essay book on Pittsburgh!!!! XOXOXO

Even though I’ve never been there, I think it’s a very nostalgic photo. Love the schoolbuses lined up. Do you know I’ve never in my whole life ridden on a schoolbus?

I once saw an exhibition at the carnegie museum showing 365 views of the cathedral (they were small paintings). Each view from a different area. This reminded me of that exhibit. I love the first one. Looks like a shadow.

Those paintings are all on the seventh floor of Alumni Hall now and that is the artist I am talking about- Felix de la Concha

That is the artist I mentioned. Felix de la Concha. I have a desk calendar of his paintings. I often think of him when I shoot the cathedral. Go to Alumni Hal seventh floor and see all teh paintings Sue.

This is wonderful. It reminds me of your love of “places with a trace of humanity.”
