Lovely church building indeed, though bittersweet for me. The decision to end my marriage of fifteen years was taken in its grounds in 2009...
ReplyDeleteGoodness, that must be tough- sorry to have touched a raw nerve...
DeleteGet that blue sky! My visit to Manchester on Saturday only managed grey skies. I seem to forever mistime my visits. my mum's favourite saying is always 'You should have come yesterday - the sun was cracking the flags!'The red spire looks terrific against that sky.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully composed image!

Victorian Churches make good pics. Love the tower.
ReplyDeletea striking and unusual tower, both the proportions and the colour.
ReplyDeleteHi there – that’s such a warm colour. And a nice contrast with the sky.

A beautiful spire. It does look nice against that blue sky!
ReplyDeleteGreat tower!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteThere is something compelling about church spires. I like the stone work too.
ReplyDeleteThe red tower is beautiful and I love the blue sky, a perfect mix of colors!
ReplyDeleteWonderful picture dear Chrissy, you are very talented!

A sturdy looking church with a rather fine brick spire, very Victorian.
ReplyDeleteA great mean to measure time and life.
ReplyDeletePlease have a good Wednesday.
Love your title!
ReplyDeletebeautifully composed and captured!
ReplyDeleteYes, the spire rises majestically into that lovely sky, and its clocks fit beautifully with the design.
ReplyDeleteoh the light you've caught here... so superb!
