This photo was loaned by Ina Wescott in December 1982 (1982-16). Ina was a postmistress at Shannonville Public School for many years.

Taken with a Canon S3IS. Type L for a better view.

Since the demolition of Spire House it seems that Greyfriars steeple can be seen like never before - or like not for a long time. I guess it will be not for long of course but at the moment from the bus stop in New Union Street all three spires can be seen together. There are very few places in the City where this is possible.

Chapel Steeple

 

Designed by Carrie Jacobs Bond, composer of "The End of a Perfect Day," "I Love You Truly," and other songs, this chapel was based on the one at Rancho Camulos made famous in Helen Hunt Jackson's novel, Ramona. From 1926 until 1962, it was the centerpiece of Robert E. Callahan's Mission Village in Culver City.

 

Mrs. Marion Callahan (Kitty Kelley) states that her late husband assembled bits and pieces of old churches, some as old as 200 years. However, the guide book for the Village describes the ". . . altar made from ruins of 200-year-old mission." The 48 cup brass candelabra was donated by Mrs. Bond. Here Gary Cooper was inducted into the Sioux Nation. John Wayne used it as a movie set, and the chapel was visited by Wyatt Earp, Will Rogers, Joan Crawford, and many other stars.

 

In 1963, the area of the Mission Village was paved to form the Santa Monica Freeway, forcing Mr. Callahan to move to Mint Canyon. Mrs. Callahan donated the Chapel to the Santa Clarita Valley Historical Society, and it was moved to its present location at Heritage Junction in 1987.

Providence RI, the church Roger Williams founded when the Puritans in Massachusetts sent him packing.

Restoration work continues on Belém's famous bay-front Ver-o-Peso fish market.

I was captivated by the way the old copper was lit, and the way the cross cocked to the side on top of this very small town church. The breaking clouds behind it made it an even more incredible scene.

 

For perspective, this photo is a different cropping of the previous photo "Barboursville Church."

One of the more interesting church steeples I have seen.

One of the famous “painted churches” in the Schulenberg, Texas area, the current building of Sts. Cyril and Methodius Catholic Church in Dubina was completed in 1912 after the previous church was destroyed by a hurricane in 1909.

Wading River Church

Inside the doors are sealed to love

Inside my heart is sleeping

Inside the fingers of my glove

Inside the bones of my right hand

Inside it's colder than the stars

Inside the dogs are weeping

Inside the circus of the wind

Inside the clocks are filled with sand

Inside she'll never hurt me

Inside the winter's creeping

Inside the compass of the night

Inside the folding of the land

 

Outside the stars are turning

Outside the world's still burning

 

Inside my head's a box of stars I never dared to open

Inside the wounded hide their scars, inside this lonesome sparrow's fall

Inside the songs of our defeat, they sing of treaties broken

Inside this army's in retreat, we hide beneath the thunder's call

 

Outside the rain keeps falling

Outside the drums are calling

Outside the flood won't wait

Outside they're hammering down the gate

 

Love is the child of an endless war

Love is an open wound still raw

Love is a shameless banner unfurled

Love's an explosion,

Love is the fire of the world

Love is a violent star

A tide of destruction

Love is an angry scar

A violation, a mutilation, capitulation, love is annihilation.

 

Inside the failures of the light, the night is wrapped around me

Inside my eyes deny their sight, you'd never find me in this place

Inside we're hidden from the moonlight, we shift between the shadows

Inside the compass of the night, inside the memory of your face

 

Outside the walls are shaking

Inside the dogs are waking

Outside the hurricane won't wait

Inside they're howling down the gate

 

Love is the child of an endless war

Love is an open wound still raw

Love is a shameless banner unfurled

Love's an explosion,

Love is the fire at the end of the world

Love is a violent star

A tide of destruction

Love is an angry scar

The pain of instruction

Love is a violation, a mutilation, capitulation,

Love is annihilation.

 

I climb this tower inside my head

A spiral stair above my bed

I dream the stairs don't ask me why,

I throw myself into the sky

 

Love me like a baby, love me like an only child

Love me like an ocean; love me like a mother mild

Love me like a father, love me like a prodigal son

Love me like a sister, love me like the world has just begun

Love me like a prodigy, love me like an idiot boy,

Love me like an innocent, love me like your favorite toy

Love me like a virgin, love me like a courtesan,

Love me like a sinner, love me like a dying man.

 

Annihilate me, infiltrate me, incinerate me, accelerate me, mutilate me, inundate me, violate me, implicate me, vindicate me, devastate me

 

Love me like a parasite, love me like a dying sun

Love me like a criminal, love me like a man on the run

 

Radiate me, subjugate me, incubate me, recreate me, demarcate me, educate me, punctuate me, evaluate me, conjugate me, impregnate me, designate me, humiliate me, segregate me, opiate me, calibrate me, replicate me
