May 20 2005 Her Silent Moment of Prayer

OK, I have to admit that I felt a bit of a spiritual voyeur here.

Today, in a mid-19th century cathedral.
She and her bible.
Me and my camera.
Not another soul present. At least none observable to the living.

The camera's shutter sound shattered the overwhelming silence and serenity.

I felt intrusive but I love this moment.
She, I believe, was unaware of my presence.
