Kirkjufell, or 'Church Mountain', is a distinctly shaped peak found on the north shore of Iceland’s Snæfellsnes Peninsula, only a short distance away from the town of Grundarfjörður. It is often called ‘the most photographed mountain in Iceland’ due to its dramatic formation and perfect coastal location.
Built in 1640 it replaced the Medieval St Mary's of the Lowes
Situated in wonderful countryside of the Scottish Borders
St. Mary's Church in the village of Steeple Ashton, Wiltshire, UK. Although only a village, Steeple Ashton was a prosperous place in the 15th. century and this magnificent church was built between 1420 and 1500. This was the third church on this site but the steeple which gave the village its name was on the second church. The current church also had a steeple at one time but it was destroyed by lightning in 1670. Two men, who had been repairing the steeple after a previous lightning strike, were killed and the steeple was never rebuilt. With the steeple in place the church was 57 metres high.
I also took a picture of the inside.
Trinity Church. Trinity Church is a historic parish church at the intersection of Wall Street and Broadway in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan in New York.
For literally decades I have passed this beautiful church but usually I was always in a rush as I always had to be someplace to go or people to meet. This day was no better I was busy to heading downtown to cover the Halloween Parade but at least this day I grabbed a quick shot and decided to look up the history. Finished in 1846 in was designed James Renwick Jr. in French Gothic Revival Style. It's walls were built out of Sing Sing Marble from a nearby quarry next to historic Sing Sing Prison were the inmates were hired out to cut out the stone as a cost saving measure. The original spire was wood but was replaced with a stone spire in 1888. When the church opened it became very popular with many of the wealthiest families in the city as it outclassed many of the simpler wooden churches that existed in the city at the time. During the mid 20th century it was designated a New York City Landmark and now also enjoys National Landmark Status.
It is a large building mostly dating from about 1450, and the large number of clear glass windows give it a “light and airy” feeling during the day. It holds up to 240 people.
This church is on Snæfellsnes, Iceland. I felt the strength of my religion, so I kneeled down about 1km away. After prayers, I shot the photo from the open field. Ingjaldshóll
