The Cathedral Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi in black and white I took this picture fourteen years ago and for some reason composed the picture with half of the towers chopped off.

The main adjustment was lowering the vibrancy to make it not so bright. I adjusted several of theContinue reading “Mini swamp”
