I am joining Lens and Pens by Sally, who hosts each Monday the Phoneography and Non-SLR Digital Devices Photo Challenge. Following the link you will learn all you need to participate.
The scheduled theme for the 3rd Monday is Black and White. I made the photos of St. Stephen’s Cathedral in Vienna, Austria with an Iphone5. The cathedral was undergoing external works so I tried to exclude that part as much as I could.
Sights & Insights 
Welcome to the challenge and fun…like both your images for different reasons. The first for the contrast of light and shadows, and the second for its somber quality. Happy Photo Challenge.

The first one has a Gothic, ominous feel to it. The dark birds and the impression of the tower on the right leaning in help to create that. Good ones!

The color photos show a clear, blue sky and that is magic. The black birds made for a nice contrast. I am realizing now that i prefer that instead of BW. Lol.
Thanks for enjoying this! Xx
