We don’t have too many churches around here that light up their steeples at night anymore. I was pleased when I saw this one. They have so much character. This one is in Winchendon, MA.
Deep clouds were meandering about the sun. The light was diffuse enough that this subject was only a little backlit. This made it reasonable to try on my point and shoot.

Yes...another shot from the distant archives. I've posted another, wider view of this same scene, but I haven't shot anything lately that I want to post so here you go. :-)
The Torre del Verger is an old watchtower in the municipality of Banyalbufar in Mallorca.
The tower is located on the northwest coast of the Spanish island of Mallorca. It is located on a high rocky outcrop of the Serra de Tramuntana, which at this point drops steeply towards the Mediterranean Sea.
The tower was built in 1579 as a watchtower to monitor this stretch of coastline and defend it against attacks by pirates. Today it serves as an observation tower. It is accessible via a path (from the nearby viewpoint) and can be climbed via an internal staircase. From its platform, it provides an overview of the coastal section.
In 1875 the tower was bought by Ludwig Salvator of Austria-Tuscany and renovated in 1997. Today it is a listed building

A minimalist abstraction of a steeple, from a local church. The church itself is rather typical, but the steeple is unusually simple and geometric.
When I drove past it, the sunset light was hitting it at just the right angle, so of course, I had to pull over and take a picture! I used the 85 Planar, I don't like C/Y Planar rendition as much as the Sonnar lenses, but they are beautifully sharp, and with the low amount of light at sunset, the extra stops are really helpful.
