St. Philip's Church, Charleston, S.C.
~
On a beautiful night in May, we had dinner at one of Charleston’s fine restaurants, Tristan, now closed, sadly. (Charleston is noted for being “food obsessed”, an obsession that works out particularly well for us.) Afterward, we wandered around the downtown area looking for interesting photo opportunities.
Although the wind was high that night, the church stood still long enough to capture some interesting frames, with a beautiful ice-ringed moon as a backdrop.
Built in 1836, St. Philip’s Church features an imposing tower designed in the Wren-Gibbs tradition. St. Philip’s is the oldest religious congregation in South Carolina, having been established in 1681.

Gratuitous side-by-side of the two Sacred Lotus girls. I also have Devotion from the collection but she has redressed and moved on, and refuses to appear in the group shot, LOL.

In every breath, a universe unfolds,
Each atom a testament, ancient and bold.
In rivers that flow, in mountains that rise,
The divine essence, a silent guise.
From the flutter of wings to the stars' dance above,
All intertwined in a tapestry of love.

Dedicada a una compañera de trabajo despedida hoy injustamente. Más que una compañera de trabajo, una amiga. Compartir contigo estos años de trabajo ha sido divino.
ENGLISH
The church of Santa María de Aínsa, is a good example of the Medieval architecture of the Sobrarbe area, although throughout its history it has undergone many modifications of the several rooms the temple is made up of: church, subterranean crypt, cloister and belfry tower.
The origins of the temple go back to the XIth century, being an irregularly proportioned construction of rough ashlar.
The church is accessed by way of an open door with a semicircular arc and archivolts, upheld by columns with carved capitals, and on the higher part of the entrance the usual Romanesque chrysmon may be seen.
However, the church has another entrance at the back, which acts as a junction between the temple proper, the tower and the irregular pentagon-shaped medieval cloister.
From the church, entering from the first stretch of the nave, one reaches the basement, a crypt opened beneath the front part of the temple.
On the other hand, to visit the tower and enjoy a beautiful view of the Aínsa’s historical urban area and its surroundings, one must enter from the exterior, through an elevated door. When one reaches the belfry’s openings, it is easy to understand why this tower had religious uses, but above all military ones , as it is an excellent observation tower for the Cinca river.

CASTELLANO
La Iglesia parroquial de Santa María de Ainsa (Provincia de Huesca, España) es un templo de estilo románico iniciado en el siglo XI y finalizado en el siglo XII. Se consagró en 1181.
De sencilla portada de cuatro arquivoltas apoyadas en otros tantos pares de columnas de capiteles labrados. Desde el interior del templo de única nave con bóveda de medio cañón apuntado se accede a la cripta y el claustro, ambos de gran interés.
La Cripta cuenta con 18 columnas y capiteles. Su torre, de dimensiones únicas en el románico aragonés, hace imprescindible su visita, con saeteras para la defensa, se alza entre las casas del pueblo y domina el entorno. Consta de cuatro pisos diferenciados, uno de ellos, el tercero, destinado a campanario.
El claustro, totalmente irregular, es un ejemplo de adaptación al medio. En el interior se puede admirar la obra del ábside realizada en piedra blanda de color rojo. La bóveda es de horno y tiene el eje ligeramente desviado del de la nave.
