aka. Mission Hill Church

My first attempt at a vertical panorama (vertrorama). I ran into all types of problems, inadvertently moved the tripod in the middle of it, the white balance kept changing through the long exposures due to moving clouds, etc... But I think it came out pretty well for a first attempt.
Some history on the location:
"The Basilica and Shrine of Our Lady of Perpetual Help is a Roman Catholic Basilica in Boston, Massachusetts, sometimes known as Mission Church.
The Redemptorist Fathers built a modest wooden mission church on the location in 1870. The current church structure was first built in 1878, of Roxbury puddingstone; its spires were added in 1910. Due to the church's sloping foundation, the west cross tops its tower at 215 feet (66 m); the other spire is two feet shorter. The length of the church is also 215 feet (66 m), presenting a perfect proportion. The church was elevated to basilica status in 1956 by Pope Pius XII."
