I made this image from my own balcony in Cuenca, at the end of one of the few perfectly sunny days granted to us over our month-long stay. The three great domes of the city’s main cathedral, virtually across the street from my apartment, are silhouetted against a clear blue evening sky, flecked with scattered golden clouds. The Romanesque turrets break up the flow of the domes, just as the architect intended. It appears here almost as a stage set, yet it was a living reality for me for four weeks. I never came to take this building for granted. It was like a chameleon, changing as the light and weather changed, and as my viewpoint changed. This cathedral is very much at the heart of Cuenca itself, functioning as an iconic rendering of its spirit. This image brings a fitting close to this portrait of a city.
