 The Cathedral of the Transfiguration is a Slovak Byzantine Rite Roman Catholic cathedral located in Markham, Ontario, Canada. The cathedral was built in a rural area north of the city of Toronto and was built to serve Slovak Catholics throughout the Greater Toronto Area.

The exterior of the Cathedral was used in the movie, In the Mouth of Madness where it portrayed the Black Church located in Hobb's End.

HDR-merged and tone-mapped three photographs at varying exposure compensation amounts: -1/3, +2/3, and +1-2/3 stops.

I drive by the top of this almost daily! There is a big sign called "Cathedral Town" What a stunning shot of this you have taken!

Enjoy this beautiful Orthodox architecture. Large Icons written at the entrance doors are impressive. HDR is tamed well.

How interesting to have this church seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Great perspective on the subject and a corollary for our times.

Nice colors, and the skies are really great. The work to retain and emphasize the colors in the building is great!

The tilt drives me nuts - otherwise an interesting shot with nice lighting on the spire roofs.

Very nice sky to show off this structure. Makes me wonder why it's out there in the middle of nowhere all by itself.

I like the position of the building against the sky. The blue band on the bottom of the sky is a little off for me though.
