Heaven's Door

I was out walking around Milwaukee looking for a photo when I spied an amazing cathedral reflected on the side of a skyscraper. I dropped everything and began chasing around the city streets to find a better vantage point. Eventually my trek took me to the base of the cathedral - disappointed that I never found one. I took this photo of the entrance and thought to myself that I had messed up again as it was badly overexposed. When I thought about it, though, I wondered if perhaps the camera was seeing the reality that my eyes were programmed not to see. Should I take the Red Pill or the Blue Pill? Is this fantastical sight Heaven’s Door or just the entrance to City Hall?
