This was a shot taken of a church entrance we visited over the weekend. I took this with my mobile phone (I brought my camera, but the batteries are acting up. It must be a sign that I need to buy new ones, or at least, a new charger) . I have to say I actually like the way this picture turned out. I had to angle it just right for me to be satisfied with the lighting, and I like the result, with the stone angel near the right side of the frame, half in light and half in dark. It gives off the perfect “old church” feel, but not so much that it looks downright disturbing (at least, I don’t think so).

The beggar on the steps is actually a representation of reality in our country. A lot of people go to churches to beg, especially on Sundays, perhaps because they know that a lot of people go there on that day, and maybe even appeal to their generosity (after hearing exhortations).
