I’m not a church going kind of gal, except when it comes to photography or traveling.
Here I am at the Church of Saint-Leon-de-Westmount in Montreal taking a “Mastering the Light” photography workshop. Montreal is a city of many churches. Mark Twain, during a visit to Montreal in 1881 said: “This is the first time I was ever in a city where you couldn’t throw a brick without breaking a church window.” Yes the church was at some point a pillar of French Canadian identity. Although church attendance has drastically declined over the years (Quebec is pretty much a secular society today), they are still amazing places of our past and history to discover, photograph and admire for their incredible architectural beauty.

(Disclaimer: I am actually very religious.) So, is it sacrilege to say, churches give me the willies? Which is pretty sad, considering they are often some of the most spectacular examples of architectural genius that can be found on our planet. Still, to go in one…
So, thank you for sharing! I would never (probably) have seen this beauty without your help.

I think you are not the only that feels this way. Glad you were able to enjoy without having to go in.
