This is the side chapel of Immaculate Conception Church (also known as St. Mary’s) in Yonkers, New York. Once again, I am grateful to Msgr. Hugh J. Corrigan for allowing me full access throughout this magnificent building while it was otherwise closed to the public.
You can see the baptistery to the left, a statue of Jesus and two confessional booths to the right, and the altar directly ahead.

20 Feb 2013That’s OK Mike. I don’t think the Church was going for creepy, but you see what you see. I think it’s partly due to the heavy yellow color tones. It looks like the white balance is off but it’s not, and I think the heavy yellow cast can be unsettling. It doesn’t have this effect in real life, and I also think the more complete view of the chapel I linked in the post negates the effect.
