Silhouetted Spires

Basilica and Shrine of Our Lady of Perpetual Help at the top of Mission Hill. Taken a few weeks ago just after the sun had set, I have one on color slide film that I will upload sometime soon. Canon 7n 28-80mm on Ilford Delta 400 Pro pushed to 800 iso developed in Kodak D-76 1+0. Spotted for dust, corrected levels and curves, and slight sharpening in PS.

From Wiki:

The Redemptorist Fathers built a modest wooden mission church on the location in 1870. The current church structure was first built in 1878, of Roxbury puddingstone; its spires were added in 1910. Due to the church's sloping foundation, the west cross tops its tower at 215 feet (66 m); the other spire is two feet shorter. The length of the church is also 215 feet (66 m), presenting a perfect proportion. The church was elevated to basilica status in 1956 by Pope Pius XII.

It is located on Tremont Street, almost at the center Mission Hill, a 0.75 square miles (1.9 km2)[2] Boston neighborhood of approximately 18,000 people. The church is considered the symbol of the neighborhood, to which it gives its name.

Senator Edward Kennedy's funeral took place there on August 29, 2009. He had often prayed at the church due to its proximity to the hospitals in the Longwood Medical Area of Boston, where he had visited sick and injured members of his family.

Fallen Apples

Just got back my first rolls of slide film, unfortunately these digital versions don't do the originals justice.

While apple picking in VT with the family I came across this neat little pile of fallen apples. I'm sure they eventually because some delicious cider. Canon 7n 50mm on Fuji Provia 100F Pro. Spotted for dust, corrected levels, curves and color, and slight sharpening in PS.

Logarithmic Spiral - Wikipedia:

A logarithmic spiral, equiangular spiral or growth spiral is a special kind of spiral curve which often appears in nature. The logarithmic spiral was first described by Descartes and later extensively investigated by Jakob Bernoulli, who called it Spira mirabilis, "the marvelous spiral".
