I have a somewhat embarrassing confession to make about this photograph. I know that I made it in a church in the Belgium town of Ghent… but I failed to record which church it was! In my (weak) defense, this is a town of many churches — I don’t think I’ve seen many others with so many steeples. And after a few weeks of visiting Various European cities it is possible that I was starting to suffer from an overdose of church architecture.
We traveled to Ghent on a day trip from Brussels. I made the photograph partly as another record of the features of such places, but also because I loved the combination of the architecture and the light. (Update: I have been informed — thanks, Patty! — that this is Sint-Michielskerk. Otherwise known as Saint Michael’s Church. )
