Photographer's Note
I visited the cathedral many times and this was the one with the better light, anyway it was closed again. I am posting it again only because I can show you the bell tower of the cathedral, a gift of Spanish colony of Brazil. As I told you before you can read the cathedral, belfry and baptistery as the image of the main altar during a mass. The cathedral would be hands imploring to the sky and giving an offer to God, the baptistery would be the bread and the belfry would be the sacred calyx.
In the image you can see three of the evangelists near the subterranean entrance. Some meters ahead, behind of cathedral, there is the area where the embassies are located, an area I had no time to explore. Portugal, Russia and USA embassies are the closer ones of the cathedral, coincidences ? NO!
.............
Visitei essa catedral vαrias vezes e desta ϊltima vez tive a melhor luz para fotos, contudo a catedral estava fechada novamente. Estou mostrando esse prιdio mais uma vez para mostrar o campanαrio. Como jα disse antes, devemos ler a catedral, o batistιrio e o campanαrio como um altar durante a missa. Sendo que a catedral sγo as mγos a implorar aos cιus, oferecendo a dαdiva, o batistιrio seria o pγo e o campanαrio seria o cαlice com vinho.
O campanαrio foi presente da colτnia espanhola no Brasil. Logo atrαs da catedral estα a αrea destinada ΰs embaixadas, uma regiγo que nγo explorei. Bem pertinho da catedral estγo as embaixadas dos EUA, da Rϊssia e de Portugal, nγo uma coincidκncia.

Hello Jorge,
It is a very attractive, modern building, perfectly fitting your analogy.
The three evangelists and the coloured lines add a sense of perspective, as they lead towards the cathedral.
The light is very good on this occasion.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Jorge,
Why are there only three of the Evangelists? One is missing :)
Beautiful presentation of this familiar to us already structure. Nice angle which allowed you to include the giant statues.
The sky makes such a huge difference for my reception of this view. The colors are amazing and everything looks amazing.
Excellent work,
M

Hi Jorge,
The statues of the apostles are eye-catching. The point of view is showing the details of the Cathedral. The light is making the colors to stand out. Have a nice day.

Hi Jorge
Quite an impressive building andtaken from avery good pov. I like the white whispy clouds in the sky seeming to echo the stark white of the building.

Hi Jorge,perhaps the cathedral should have been built right in the middle of the US and Russian embassies ... ahhaa .. even if the Pope's calls are always unheard. Nice view and interesting notes about what the architectural shapes represent. Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Hi Jorge
I've seen this style of architecture for churches somewhere else but can't remember where. Another fime example of Brasilia's style.
cheers

Hi Jorge,
Combination of the cathedral and the belfry is very modern and fits perfectly on this environment. Clear white against the blue sky looks great. To be honest I don't know what calyx means.

Hola Jorge.
Por fin una foto donde vemos un cielo azul, tu visita a Brasilia no fue afortunada en cuanto a climatologia, el diseρo de la catedral es sin duda algo novedoso ymuy bonito, como no podia ser de otra manera estos apostoles en una escultura muy moderna tambien.
Buena gestion de la iluminaciσn, nitidez y color.
Bien hecho. Me gusta.
Que tengas un gran dia.
Saludos muy cordiales.
Luis.

Hello Jorge,
Splendid picture of the cathedral with its very special architecture and the row of statues of evangelists.
The persons give us a good indication of the size of everything.
The bold architecture of the cathedral contrasts sharply with the monotonous high-rise buildings of the embassy district.
Best regards, Paul

A composiηγo ficou uma beleza, com o tempo aberto e os detalhes capturados com excelente nitidez!
