While fighting the crowds at Mesa Arch in Canyonlands I switched lenses and captured the spires beyond.
The tallest spire in the UK at 405' (123m) since the collapse of others such as Lincoln and Winchester in previous centuries. Usually an 'add on' the buildings couldn't take the extreme weight but this survived thanks to the intervention of Sir Christopher Wren (of London St Paul's fame) who strengthened the structure internally.
A land of hoodoos, spires, petrified wood and unique shaped geological features. A place to wander among the stark beauty and find the unusual.
Sunlight beaming through the clouds onto the Gunnison River flowing through Black Canyon and lighting up a lone spire.
Night view in the rain of one of Glasgow's many cobbled alleyways, This one is West George Lane looking west. The chruch spire on the left belongs to St. Columba Church in St. Vincent Street.
Saint David's Memorial Church, designed in 1926 by P MacGregor Chalmers, next to the site of an earlier mid 1800s kirk. After a day of constant rain, just before the brief winter day ended, the sun came out as it was setting and cast this red-gold light across the Campsie Hills and the few buildings tall enough to catch it before it vanished into dusk. Gorgeous light.
Once in a great while, you take a photo and say to yourself, wow, this is really cool.

We got out on another boat, a small one. Nick took us to some of his favorite spots, this being one of them.
The spire of St Mary's Church in Compton Abbas stands tall above the early morning mist seen from Fontmell Down yesterday morning.
I greatly enjoyed walking around Munich. there is much to see and it is full of life. The main square has quality musicians playing. I hope to return soon.

Plymouth taken from Devonport Hill, Stonehouse Bridge, Devonport.
I often pass down this hill and I always thought the 3 spires would make a nice shot, today I took my camera and stopped a while....
This broadcasting mast extends into the Chicago skyline from One Prudential Plaza, while the distinctive angled architecture of Two Prudential Plaza casts its presence in the background. One Prudential Plaza, a 41-story skyscraper completed in 1955, was significant as the first new downtown skyscraper in Chicago in 21 years and served as the headquarters for Prudential's Mid-America company. Its mast was once used as a broadcasting antenna for Chicago's WGN-TV. Two Prudential Plaza, completed in 1990, stands out with its stacked chevron setbacks and a pyramidal peak rotated 45 degrees, crowned with an 80-foot spire.
From our most recent visit to Spring Grove cemetery and arboretum, a hazy sort of spire in the trees.
A slice of our cityscape at sunset, this church spire is not only beautiful, but is a fitting image for Good Friday and the 2.38 billion Christians who commemorate the Suffering Savior hanging on the Cross on this day.
A blessed Holy week to everyone...
