Description This old church was built in the second quarter of the XIII. century andd despite its vast damages during the Turkish Occupation and the following baroque reconstruction in the 1730s it still presents its late romanesque/early gothic provincial architecture. Its last restoration occurred around 1964 and some more conservation and enterior reconstruction followed in the recent years. This way this is one of the most intact and well preserved rural church (now serving as a chapel) of the "Arpads' era" (1000–1301 AD) in Hungary. The early church was consacrated in honour of St. Catherine of Alexandria. After the Turkish Occupation and the following reconstruction it was dedicated to St. Magdalene.

I like the angle of view and light at this your photo work They create a sense of monumentality, the inviolability of the building. The spirit of time

Actually this is a small church that suffered a lot. It was burnt down, left in ruins for some 200 years, rebuilt in baroque additions, left to deteriorate again, and finally they wanted to demolish it. Then some architects and historians discovered its importance and they released it from its baroque parts, restored its medieval state as far as it could be traced down. Then it left to deterioration again and its full archaeological analysis and scientific restoration ended within a year or two. It is a big win that we still have it. That's for monumentality and inviolability Though for me this little church is a hero (and a type of these low angle views is called "heroic view" ) so... you're quite right!
Is this the spirit of time? I guess so, that's why I toyed with long exposure and I had my luck that the wind didn't move the branches too much but smeared the clouds to give this "passage of time" feeling

Once again I am surprised how many nuances there are always in any photo And I admire your work and passion to it

It's great that there are churches like this. They help us maintain a spiritual connection with previous generations, and not forget who we are.

And this is probably one of the cases when a non-nature photo is as exciting as a nature photo.
Usually I don’t know how to see the beauty in the creations of people when I’m looking for something to photograph.
