Churches-An open thread

[shootnbreeze]

A corrugated tin church in Belfast. Made by Harland and Wolf I believe. If you think it looks like something from the mid West of the USA then you would be right as these churches were made like flat packs and shipped around the world.

San Nicomede

San Nicomede near Parma, Italy, does not look too interesting at a first glance. Just a small fifteenth century building with a very plain interior. But if we go down to the crypt we are faced with a an early Romanesque structure with a couple of recycled Roman columns.

One of the best photos of a church I have seen. The background, graveyard and church work well together.

Blimey! That looks like a bit of a dogs breakfast. Be interesting to have a nose around there though.

Yes, it's still used. It appears to have had some restoration works carried out, and still ongoing.

I have a few images from my travels. Despite being entirely atheist, I do have a minor fascination with churches.

Thanks. Just a hand held shot on a particularly grey day.

The church of St. Jure, Croatia.

Not stunning pictures by any means, but what a trek to get to church. 20+ km of singletrack road to the very top of the mountain in Biokovo nature park, Croatia.

Absolutely stunning Kell.

Absolutely stunning Kell.

Thank you.

We got very lucky as we decided to stay on Holy Island between tides and have dinner. (Most people don’t.)

And as we were eating my wife said “look at the sky behind you.”

So off I trotted.

 

[John_L]

Absolutely stunning Kell.

Fully agree - right place and time plus the skills to capture it - well done - 10/10 AND a GOLD STAR!

St Mary's old church at Kempley. Renowned for it's medieval frescos. They only survived because they were painted over.
