The close-up picture shows the ceremonial neo-gothic facade of St.Patrick's Cathedral in New York. The frame is made from a wide angle, focusing on massive front doors, arrow arches and grand stone pylons going up. The main entrance and side arches are decorated with Christmas coniferous garlands and decorative elements, which emphasizes the festive winter atmosphere. To the left of the entrance is the flag of the United States , and to the right is the white and yellow flag of the Vatican with the official coat of arms. At the edges of the frame you can see the modern reflective glass surfaces of the surrounding skyscrapers of Manhattan , creating a contrast of epochs characteristic of this place.
