Cathedral of Jesus the light, Oakland

The Cathedral of Jesus the Light was recently completed after three years and $190 million. Its curves spring out from the other secular buildings along Lake Merritt. Its cross stands sentinel - Leica 35mm f/2 Summicron-M ASPH :

Inside the cathedral, Jesus' tall figure has the face of some of the homeless men I've seen in the Bay Area, comforting to the affluent and the out-of-work alike. He holds two fingers up to suggest the second coming - Leica 21mm f/2.8 Elmarit-M ASPH:

All comments welcome.
I'll be in northern New Mexico for the next week, so I won't be posting for awhile. 

Peaceful and enjoyable holidays to everyone!
