St. Thomas Church, Leipzig 1937

Framed by chestnut leaves, the richly traceried west portal of the church rises behind a row of parked cars and a strip of lawn where pigeons peck; a few people walk to the doors, and the birds fly up across the frame. Johann Sebastian Bach was cantor of St. Thomas from 1723 until his death in 1750; in 1937 his remains still lay in the Johanniskirche and were moved to St. Thomas only in 1950.
