Today's picture features one of the country's best-known houses of worship, St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York City. Here is photographer Nick Sadowski to tell us about the photo:
    "Of all the fabulous places to see and visit in a city as grand as
    New York City, my favorite place hands down is St. Patrick's
    Cathedral located on 5th Avenue between 50th and 51st streets.
    Every time I visit NYC, it is always a must-see.

    It is one of NYC's oldest churches, with construction beginning in
    1858 and the work completed in 1879. The church was declared
    a National Historic Landmark in 1976. It served as the location
    for several papal masses (including the last two popes), and also
    hosted several funerals including Babe Ruth, Robert F. Kennedy,
    Vince Lombardi, and Joe DiMaggio.

    I took 33 images (employing a monopod) of this magnificent
    church early on a Thursday morning and stitched them
    together using Photoshop."
      --Nick Sadowski

    I would love to visit St. Patrick's some day. These huge old cathedrals are true architectural treasures. Very nice job on the picture.
