A-spire to Heaven?
Not much going on here, but I noticed how in framing the shot this way, the church spire seemed to divide the 'heavens'. And it got me wondering: Does humanity's religious aspirations help unite or further divide us. In the story of the tower of Babel, it was the aspiration of the world to reach up to heaven to unite everyone. Didn't seem the LORD God was too happy with that idea according to the Genesis narrative. Perhaps it has something to do with being too heavenly minded to be of any earthly good? Perhaps the care of the earth and one another is an important and crucial balance in any religious aspirations. In any case, I rather liked the geometric angles and sense of balance this shot attempts to portray.
