An interesting mix of Christianity (Catholicism) and Buddhism (Tibetan).
That being said, I'm not quite sure what you are trying to achieve with this blend of religious buildings and the way they have been decorated.
Interesting. Who does the statue in the third photograph depict?
I am not trying to achieve anything Manfred. Just showing them as a group.
I am trying to make a collection of not 4 but 6, related to religiosity but I see now that these are not coherent...
I have to search for more photographs and find the suitable ones...
Thank you for commenting Manfred !
the small sculpture which should be about 30 cm tall is the representation of S. Francis of Assis or St. Antony...
I made this photograph inside a church in Chaves, Portugal.
Thank you for commenting Paul !
António - Jim Lamont, who has been teaching me the finer points of digital printing, has an exhibition of spirituality running at St Paul's University in Ottawa, Canada right now. You might find his approach to this subject to be of interest to you. All of the images that are in the show are shown here:

The images were taken in Italy and in Canada, so far as I can remember.

Thank you Manfred ! I am going to have a look !
Thank you Manfred !
I great collection of fantastic images !
I thought the written introduction sets the context really well, gently guiding the viewer's response to the images. There are some interesting juxtapositions within them.
He is quite fond of slow shutter speeds to blur the motion of people and uses the technique well so that the viewer is aware of the people but they do not attract attention away from other components of the image.
Jim is a very thoughtful person. He is a theoretical mathematician (BSc and MSc in math) and spent much of his career in R&D working in areas like computer network topology. He is not someone who has a classical art background.
Jim is primarily a landscape photographer, so his tripod goes everywhere with him, so slow shutter speeds and good images simply go hand-in-hand with that tool.
Perhaps John, the 4 images lack coherence...
They are too different one from the other.
I must make a new collection using others I have.
Thank you for commenting, John !
