Jesus is Condemned to Death

 As most of you know I love the Stations of the Cross. St. Michael has a very lovely set. The wood framing is rich in tone and texture.

I also had some fun with some post processing.

Sometimes it's the simple things that catch my eye. I found this shot while I was sitting down swapping out lenses.

Simon of Cyrene carries the cross

This is Station 5 of the Way of the Cross.  I just love the facial expressions. The detail in this set of Stations is amazing.

Pews 67 and 3

I found these two pews in the original part of The Sacred Heart of Jesus Church, just begging me to take their picture.

John 19:2

The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe

Nativity Postcard

I tried to make and give this Nativity scene a Postcard look and feel.

Mary and Christmas Ornament

This is just another variant of the original picture. I was striving for a black and white image but liked these muted colors better. I also wanted to try my luck at adding an imposed image on the large Christmas ornament.

Mary and Wreath

I have featured this grouping before, but I like this shot the best so far.

Iron Cross

I've taken and posted this shot before. On this trip I decided to try some post manipulation.

A Babe In A Manger

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them.

I Played My Drum For Him ...

I know Christmas has come and gone and we are on the start of a new year but I didn't get out this Christmas to take my normal Christmas pictures. I finally made it out today to the Sacred Heart of Jesus Church and got some nice holiday shots. This one of the Little Drummer Boy was one of my favorites from today's shoot.
