Here is a shot of the most perfect replica in America of the original Shrine in Lourdes, France located in San Antonio. Towering from ground level, the Grotto is made of reinforced concrete shaped to resemble the cave in which the Blessed Mother appeared to St. Bernadette. Within the grotto a statue of Our Lady of Lourdes looks down upon Bernadette who is kneeling in prayer (not seen in this photo).
Brooklyn and Manhattan sights. A7ii with the Zeiss Contax C/Y 80-200mm f/4 Vario-Sonnar. An incredibly sharp and well-corrected lens that can be found for very little money. The sharpness wide open at 200mm is astounding.

More from the Phoenix Zoo . Sony ILCE-7RM3 FE 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 GM OSS . This camera is very fast in focusing balances well with the big lens. These are all seriously cropped as I could not get close to the animals. The detail in the file is just incredible!
