Galway cathedral by night: Better in black and white?

The original, unfiltered version:

I took a quick snap of Galway Cathedral one evening in late October, from Newtownsmith with Droichead an Dóchais / Salmon Weir pedestrian bridge in the foreground: The lights looked pretty and the roof was glowing nicely. Then tried a strong black-and-white filter, and rather like the result.
