St. Patrick's Church, New York, NY, 1994

Somehow this picture reminds me of the Dark Ages in the European history. As all of us know, ever since the burning of the Library of Alexandria by the Christian Roman emperors in the 3rd century A.D., the glory of the ancient Greek science and mathematics was buried. For the next thousand years, science was suppressed by the Church until people like Giordano Bruno, Galileo Galilei and  Nicolas Corpernicus stood up to speak the truth. We can say, the recent advancement of science in Europe was the triumph of anti-Christianity over Christianity. Religion places a heavy burden on the shoulder of human beings.

If I were to take this picture again, I would have taken it a little earlier to avoid the shadow on the bottom of the picture.
