The sun sets on the Sovereign Grace Church in Marlton. It was cold and windy all afternoon; you can see that in the sky.

The seven-storey steeple completed in 1634 as part of a five-storey municipal building. In 1921, the five-storey municipal building block was demolished leaving the steeple.

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.
Beinn Sgritheall (974 m) is the westernmost Munro on the Scottish mainland, rising steeply from the north shore of Loch Hourn. Another one from the archives, scanned from a negative. I've been fairly baffled by the variation in colour within the same roll of film. For every one that comes out well, like this, there's another with a massive green cast to it that needs a lot of work.

Witham on the Hill is an attractive stone village on the uplands between the market towns of Stamford & Bourne in the south west of the county, close to the border with Rutland.
The parish church is dedicated to St Andrew, it has a spacious Early English nave and a Perpendicular clerestory and chancel, the tower and steeple, which stand in an unusual position forming the south transept, were re-built in a medieval revival style by the Stamford architect George Portwood in 1737-8.

Located on the Piazza del Duomo in Bergamo Citta Alta, one can admire the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, a remarkable example of Lombard Romanesque. Building work started in 1137 (twelfth century) thanks to a town vote which promised the construction of a splendid church in exchange for the end of the plague epidemic which had afflicted the city. The primitive Romanesque structure (one nave and two aisles, with two major portals, two minor portals and an octagonal cupola) has been reworked over the centuries to the point where it is now very difficult to detect it. The most radical change was the construction of the Colleoni Chapel in the place of the old sacristy, at the same time as the addition, on the northern side, of the new sacristy. The Gothic steeple which dominates the portal is, in turn, an addition made in the fifteenth century. All the portals are the work of Giovanni da Campione. Of these the one next to the Colleoni Chapel (1353) deserves particular attention, as it blends Romanesque features (the round type of arch, the decoration of the portal depicting medieval animals and warriors), with a more exquisitely Gothic flavour. Giovanni da Campione is actually one of the last of the group of so-called "Campionese masters", who lived and worked in the transitional period from the Romanesque to the Gothic style. The equestrian statue of St Alexander by the same artist, which dominates the portal can already be fully classed as Gothic style.
The inside has also been radically changed compared to the original Romanesque structure, by decorations in stucco and marble from the seventeenth century; a wooden choir by Andrea Previtali (1470-1528) and Bernardino Zenale (1450-1526, one of the architects who contributed to the building of Milan Cathedral), following a design by Lorenzo Lotto; a wooden confessional by Andrea Fantoni, an interesting example of baroque art; Flemish tapestries from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the one which depicts the "Crocefissione" (Crucifixion) is particularly spectacular; frescos from the Giottesque school of the 1400s, representing the Stories of the Life of St Eligio and an "Ultima Cena" (Last Supper).

The footpath takes you across the valley towards Buckley Woods and Thieveley Scout. The knoll almost in the centre of the photo is called Dean Scout, the outcrop of rocks on left hand edge of the knoll are Beacon Rocks. It is also the location of the old Thieveley Lead Mine. The mine was worked for King Charles I between 1629 and 1635, then later by a private company in 1754. The walk starts off very gentle in the valley bottom and then climbs very steeply to the top of the hill towards Thieveley Pike.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.

it's actually the steeple of old st. augustine church, the:
"site of the first foundation of the augustinian order in the u.s., the nativist riots of 1844, and one-time home to the "sister bell" of the liberty bell. birthplace of the philadelphia police department, the philadelphia orchestra, and the forerunner of villanova university."
thanks, matt.
The Parish Church of Saint Wulfram
The market town of Grantham is situated in the district of South Kesteven in the county of Lincolnshire. It is located on the A1 and East Coast Main Line between London and Edinburgh. It lies 23 miles south of the city of Lincoln and 22 miles east from the city of Nottingham.
Probably the main local landmark is the parish church of St Wulfram's, which is the third tallest church in England at 282ft, after St Walburgh in Preston, Lancashire and St James' Church in Louth, also in Lincolnshire.
The oldest part of the church is some Norman pillars in the eastern nave from an earlier cruciform church. The lady chapel and the crypt below it are from the 14th century. On the upper floor of the early 13th century south porch is an Elizabethan chained-library with books bequeathed by Francis Trigge, a local puritan clergyman, the library was founded in 1598 and is claimed to be the first public reference library in England.
The chancel contains a large and elaborate Reredos by Sir Arthur Bloomfield in 1883, which was enlarged by Sir Walter Tapper in 1901 when he added the outer border.
The west tower and spire, built between 1280 and 1300, have been described by many historians as the most perfect medieval steeple in England.
This is an effect using Color Effex. I use tonal contrast and then i like the duplex setting and desaturate it a bit. I was just trying some different looks..I like a variation of a sepia tone. I'm not sure about the sky, but i think it gives it an almost ominous look. i do welcome critical feedback
The steeple is part of the Episcopal Church in Ketchikan, Alaska. It looks like a church from the New England states, but it did blend well with this lovely fishing village.
Rebuilding a big section of the First Congregational Church, which suffered a huge fire a couple of years ago.
