Grace Above Marina I

The striking architectural beauty of the Cathedral Church of Christ rises gracefully against a muted sky, its grey stone façade and intricate Gothic spires lending a quiet elegance to the Lagos skyline. Captured from Eko Bridge in Marina, this image reflects a moment that feels almost miraculous, a testament to the irony in the cathedral’s name, as if divine grace aligned every element to make this shot possible.

At precisely the right moment, a compassionate traffic control officer stood at the exact spot I needed, placing traffic cones around my car to protect it from the rush of traffic. His encouragement was unwavering, urging me to take my time, capture every intricate detail, and fully absorb this iconic structure’s calm and strength. The stillness of the cathedral amidst the city’s chaos conveys a sense of peace and reverence, encapsulating the essence of “Grace Above Marina.”
