The Cross Reflected Upon the Church

Look closely and you will see the large perfectly shaped cross on the side of the church. You might be asking yourself if this cross seems profound and out of place on the side of the church.

The large cross looks as though it is hanging from the top of the wall.

I worked really hard for this little detail so here goes. The large cross you see is the shadow of the cross from the smaller church you saw in yesterday's image. I had to wait until the sun was setting and the angle was just right to try and capture is fully on the white side of the top portion of San Xavier Del Bac.

Wow. Thank you for sharing the back story on how you achieved this remarkable photo.

I am surprised that the shadow of the cross on the smaller chapel could be cast so much higher on the wall of the taller church. I suspect that you had to wait until the sun was at its lowest point on the horizon.
