Oh the irony! I went to see this at 5 pm, only to be turned away by locked doors! That's what you get for postponing going to the Basilica until the last day before you leave! What did I do? Turned around and blasphemed "Goddamn it!" :D
Thanks Rohan!#Sai: Heh heh heh! We have a lion shrine which is not 1% as beautiful as the basilica but every Penn Stater has a pic with it. I am yet to get mine.Congrats on your graduation, btw!
Thank you Megha! This shot was taken for 13 seconds at aperture 6.3. It very much required a tripod! If you look closely, you can see people moving in those 13 seconds timeframe and those who stayed still.
Nikhil: Thanks! The beauty of this picture can be attributed to the long exposure only! Unfortunately, I could not go for a smaller aperture at the risk of over-exposure.
Archana: Yeah, that’s the University of Notre Dame. Lots of money, and every building looks like a church!
Hi Chelli
No rules were broken while taking this picture. Americans are strict about their rules and I like to adhere to them as well :) And as such, there is an unspoken rule with photographers that they never take pictures of people’s faces without asking them. Privacy laws are upheld here.

Peaceful. Is it Notre Dam of Paris ?
Good ambiance. usually cameras couldn’t catch the effect in dark. But it’s done well here.

Does this rule hold true there about not being allowed to take pics of people inside the Basilica as in Bom Jesus church in Goa?
