New York, USA - 4 November 2013; no people in view. Located on 5th Avenue, opposite Rockefeller Centre, St Patrick's Cathedral is the major Catholic Church in the United States. This neo-Gothic place of worship was erected between 1858 and 1878. Its twin spires, seen here, contrast with the modern slab-like architecture which surrounds it.
