The weather has been miserable, for the past 3-4 days, raining and being cold.
So, I decided to put on a more cheerful picture to remind myself of the beutiful blue skies, about a month ago.
The belltower is of a Greek church in Piraeus.

Ο νέος και πολύ δραστήριος ιερέας του χωριού μας ανέσυρε προσφάτως σωρεία ιερών εικόνων χρονολογουμένων από τον 16ο έως τον 18ο αιώνα και πήρε την τολμηρή απόφαση, άν βεβαίως το επιτρέψει ο Θεός,να τις αποκαταστήσουμε σιγά-σιγά όλες.
Πρώτη,όπως ήταν φυσικό,επελέγη η ιερά εικόνα της προστάτιδος του χωριού μας, Αγίας Οσιοπαρθενομάρτυρος Παρασκευής της Αθληφόρου
Το σύντομο χρονικό διάστημα μέσα στο οποίο ευρέθησαν τα χρήματα αλλά και η ταχύτατη ταυτοχρόνως δε επιτυχέστατη αποκατάστασίς της οφείλονται αδιαμφισβήτητα στην παρρησία των πρεσβειών τής εικονογραφουμένης εις αυτήν προς τον Σωτήρα Χριστό.
Η φωτογραφία είναι από την ιερά λιτάνευσή της στον πανηγυρικό εσπερινό προς τιμήν της Αγίας την 25η Ιουλίου 2020 καθόσον πρόλαβε να είναι παρούσα με όλη την καινή λαμπρότητα στον εφετινό εορτασμό κατά την διάρκεια του οποίου το ιερό αυτό αποθησαύρισμα κατέστη πλέον και η εφέστιος εικών του Ι.Ναού του χωριού μας (Νομή Τρικάλων).
The young and very active priest of our village recently brought up piles of sacred icons dating from the 16th to the 18th century and made the bold decision, if God permits, to slowly restore them all.
First, as was natural, the holy icon of the patron saint of our village, Saint holy virgin martyr Paraskevi, was chosen.
The short period of time in which the money was found and its rapid and at the same time very successful restoration are undoubtedly due to the parsimony of the embassies illustrated in it to the Savior Christ.
The photo is from her holy litany at the panegyrical vespers in honor of the Saint on July 25, 2020 as she managed to be present with all the new splendor in this year's celebration during which this sacred hoarding became the central icon of Η. Church of our village (Νomi of Trikala).

At one hundred plus years old this church is well past its prime as it slowly decays. And yet it is still beautiful to me. The pride and love that was put into this is clear. It's a shame to see it go but ashes to ashes and dust to dust.
As always, your faves and comments are appreciated. Constructive criticism and suggestions are especially welcome as I believe they help to make me a better photographer. Thank you for taking the time to look at my photos.

Constructed by members of the Lecompton, Kansas United Brethren Church known as the “Radicals”. Members opposed removing a ban against membership in the Odd Fellows, Masons, and similar secret societies and defected from the main United Brethren Church in 1899. The building made of locally quarried limestone opened in 1906 as a Radical United Brethren Church. It was constructed on the footprint of an older wood church that had burned down. The church was visited by Bishop Milton Wright, the father of Wilbur and Orville Wright. He ordained a few Radical United Brethren ministers there after that group split from the United Brethren with which Lane University was associated. The church members disbanded in the 1920s. The defunct church was purchased by the city in 1932 after their offices in the Council Building were destroyed by fire. The building was placed on the Kansas Register of Historic Places in 2016. Today it is used as the Lecompton community building.

The Church of St Aldhelm and St Eadburga in Broadway, near Illminster in Somerset.
This 13th century church is isolated from the village it serves, being situated along a narrow country lane.
The church's lonely position away from the village is thought to be because of an outbreak of the plague.
Église Sainte-Marie de Saint-Sauveur en Gironde
Église romane datée du 12° siècle et une deuxième moitié du 19° siècle.
L’église est très petite et la nef est bâtie de moellons, liée par quatre piliers (deux de chaque coté).
Le sanctuaire fait en forme de dôme parait être d’une architecture ancienne. Son apparence laisse penser que la nef a été rebâtie, soit qu’elle est tombée par vétusté, soit qu’elle à été détruite par les malheurs du temps.
L’abside assez remarquable avec ses colonnes engagées et sa corniche sur mordillons et le clocher sur la travée d’avant chœur, voûtée d’ogives.
Elle fut anciennement unie à l’Abbaye de l’Isle et édifiée sur le chemin qui menait de Saint-Laurent au bourg actuel et sur le tracé d’une ancienne voie romaine.
Elle fut surnommée tour à tour Saint-Sauveur de Sarrians et Saint-Sauveur d’Escarjean
Des travaux de menuiseries et de maçonnerie ont été effectués en juin 1833 sur le clocher, les quatre arcs-boutants et la couverture de l’église, ainsi que la reconstruction du clocher en 1844.
Jean de Cazenave repose sous les dalles de l’église, sans stèle et ce depuis 1753.
Happy wednesday.

Reschensee or Lake Reschen is an artificial lake in the western portion of South Tyrol, Italy.
With its capacity of 120 million cubic metres (97,000 ac·ft) it is the largest lake in the province. Its surface area of 6.6 km² makes it also the largest lake above 1,000 m in the Alps.[1] It is fed by the Adige, Rojenbach and Karlinbach and drained by the Adige.
The lake is famous for the steeple of a submerged 14th-century church; when the water freezes, this can be reached on foot. A legend says that during winter one can still hear church bells ring. In reality the bells were removed from the tower on July 18, 1950, a week before the demolition of the church nave and the creation of the lake.
The El Charco de San Gines also known as San Gines Lagoon is an inner inner harbour in the town of Arrecife, Lanzarote. It is often referred to as the "Venice of Lanzarote."
