I have posted photographs of the Cathedral of Saint
Helena previously, but, as with the mountains and the lakes that surround me, I
never tire of this subject. From most vantage
points upon which you view Helena, Montana, the cathedral dominates the skyline—standing
out with same conspicuous beauty as an island mountain range emerging from a
wide plane.
The Gothic style of the church makes your first sighting
of the spires standing above the Old West mining city seem on the verge of hallucinatory. The Cathedral was modeled after the
Votivkirche in Vienna, Austria. Construction of the Cathedral began in October
of 1908 and continued in one fashion or another until the Cathedral was
consecrated in June of 1924.
The photographs posted today were captured a week
ago.
