Gave the camera to the missus, while one of the grandkids and myself walked towards the distant waterline at St Annes.
Blast from the past! This is the stunner that frequented a garden in St Annes in June 2008. Reminded to dig it up following Paul Slade's fantastic call of one flying past Fluke Hall 4 days ago, ( which I also managed to see).

"The month of May is almost here, a month which the piety of the faithful has long dedicated to Mary, the Mother of God. Our heart rejoices at the thought of the moving tribute of faith and love which will soon be paid to the Queen of Heaven in every corner of the earth. For this is the month during which Christians, in their churches and their homes, offer the Virgin Mother more fervent and loving acts of homage and veneration; and it is the month in which a greater abundance of God's merciful gifts comes down to us from our Mother's throne."
– Pope Blessed Paul VI.

This was taken at St Annes annual kite display, the little ladybirds are actually "flying" at height of one or two inches. A great day out for kids.
St. Anne’s Church is a Grade II* listed parish church in Baslow, England.
The church dates from the thirteenth century. It was subject of a restoration in 1852. The architect was Sir Joseph Paxton, and the contractors were Watts of Ashover, Savage of Chesterfield and Green of Baslow. A new chancel was added. The plaster and gallery were removed. The organ was improved by Mr. Foster of Hull and transferred to the north-west side. A stained glass window was inserted in the new chancel. New pews in the gothic style were installed. A marble pulpit was added, and the chancel floor was paved with Minton encaustic tiles. A new vestry was formed at the west end and access to the belfry was made from the exterior of the tower. Central heating was installed by Renishaw. The church reopened on Thursday 30 December 1853.
The church was restored again in 1894 when the church was cleaned, and new stained glass by Hardman of Birmingham windows were installed. The choir stalls in the chancel were replaced with ones made of oak and a reredos was added. The chancel floor was replaced with mosaic tiles. The work was done under the supervision of the architect John D Webster of Sheffield, with Samuel Hibberd of Baslow as the contractor.
The chancel was rebuilt in 1911.
On the east face is the gable line of the former nave roof and a circular clock face inscribed with the characters V I C T O R I A 1 8 9 7 and Roman numerals used on the north face. The clock was the gift of Dr. Edward Mason Wrench (1833-1912) in commemoration of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.

don't get me wrong, i think they are usually beautiful and all that. the architecture, the history....some amazing stuff.
sometimes though, i look at all the churches, and start to wonder if they are using those big expensive buildings from monday-saturday. think of all the community stuff that could take place. and all of the homeless people that could be housed there. and all of the kid programs that could happen there. i dunno--i just know in my own experience from being raised in a large catholic parish, that our church was one of the largest buildings in town and it pretty much sat vacant all week, except for some early morning masses.....which seems sort of strange for a group that is supposed to be based on love and sharing and all the good stuff. from what i understand, there are a lot of newer churches that transform their spaces to be utilized for other purposes--i sorta wish this would catch on w/ the old ones too....could it work?
just some random thoughts....
and thanks again larry b for taking me out to shoot on this freezing cold night!
St Anne's Church is an Anglican church in St Annes-on-the-Sea, a town on the Fylde coastal plain in Lancashire, England. It is an active Church of England parish church in the Diocese of Blackburn and the archdeaconry of Lancaster. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.
St Anne's Church was built in 1872–73 as a chapel of ease to St Cuthbert's Church, Lytham, and was one of the first buildings to be constructed in what would become St Annes-on-the-Sea. The land for the church was donated by the local Clifton family. It was designed by Lancaster architects Paley and Austin at a cost of £4,229 (equivalent to £470,000 in 2023). St Anne's became an independent ecclesiastical parish in 1877. The seaside resort that grew up around the church took its name from it. In 1885–1886 the church was enlarged by Richard Knill Freeman who added a transept, vestry and, to the north, an aisle. A tower was added in 1890, and a lady chapel in 1909. In 1919 the successor in the Lancaster architectural practice, Henry Paley, added a baptistry, followed by repairs in and a memorial vestry in 1929–31.
St Anne's was designated a Grade II listed building by English Heritage on 15 February 1993. The Grade II designation—the third highest of the three grades—is for buildings that are "nationally important and of special interest". An active church in the Church of England, St Anne's is part of the diocese of Blackburn, which is in the Province of York. It is in the archdeaconry of Lancaster and the Deanery of Kirkham. Both the parish and benefice are called St Anne (Heyhouses).
The church is constructed in a mixed Gothic style of red brick in English bond with sandstone dressings; the roof has red tiles.[5] Its plan consists of a nave and chancel under one roof, a west tower, north and south aisles, south transept, a baptistery west of the tower and a memorial lady chapel to the north of the chancel.
The tower is square and has two stages, buttresses on the west side, and a stair turret It has a stepped parapet with corner pinnacles.
The churchyard of St Anne's is triangular. There is a sandstone memorial to six members of the St Anne's Laura Janet lifeboat crew who died attempting to rescue the Mexico in the 1886 Southport and St Anne's lifeboats disaster. A memorial to more of the crew members that were lost is in the churchyard of St Cuthbert's in Lytham. The footballer and manager Harry Catterick is buried in the churchyard.

The Grand Hotel
Between 1886 & 1897 the Lytham & St.Annes Golf Club had its course on the inland side of the railway between St.Annes Railway Station and Highbury Road. The Club leased a room in the St.Annes Hotel (site of The Crescent Pub). The hotel was run by Rose J Holloway.
In 1897 the Golf Club moved to the present site at Links Gate, some distance from the St.Annes Hotel. The same year Mrs Holloway had the Grand Hotel built amongst the sand dunes at what was then the end of South Promenade, St.Annes. It was then an isolated spot but was less than half a mile from the new Golf Club and was known as "the golfers' hotel" because it was used by many visiting golfers.
