The Church
by JoseNoway

I love this church. It's in a part of town that is kind of crumbling.
Not the church, though. It's as pristine today as it has been as far back
as I can remember. I'm not Catholic, but if I were... I'd go to this church.

Sidenote: Until I got this image into Photoshop, I'd had no idea that
the roof of this church is covered by hundreds of thin spikey-things to
keep the pigeons off. If you look very closely at the window ledge to
the lower-left of the darker cross, you can see a pigeon roosting.

Nancy, I really like those lovely architectural details and the sky/structure contrast. Melanie (mlynn)

Nancy, I like the contrasts here: between sky and structure...between the two styles/colors of crosses,...and between the stark, plain facade and the intricately detailed window. MFC

This has the feeling of lace, beautiful and elegant. Ann C

Beautiful image, Nancy. The minimalist approach really works here - just sky and church. Love it - Bev

I love those windows, and the deep blue sky

Beautiful church, Nancy. Very nicely captured. The bright white/cream contrasts very well against the blue sky. Lisafx
