Trinity Church Nightscape
A somewhat haunting view of Trinity Church in Boston, Massachusetts, taken from the Copley Square Plaza.  A 15 second late night exposure through the fisheye lens yielded this incredible scene of old meets new architecture.  

Trinity Church is listed as one of the &quot;Ten Most Significant Buildings in the United States&quot; by the American Institute of Architects and has remained in that list since 1885.  The original Trinity Church was founded in 1733 and included two locations - the second burned down in the Great Fire of Boston - before this location in Copley Square became it's final home in 1877.  The Episcopal Church is built in the style of a Greek cross with four arms reaching out from the 211 foot tall center tower and is a stunning example of early American architecture both inside and out.  Henry Hobson Richardson is credited with the original church design and upon completion Richardson's reputation was solidified and a new architecture design style was born; known as Richardson Romanesque, there are many buildings throughout the country that have an obvious influence from Richardson's work of art.
