Saint Paul's Episcopal Church - Key West, FL
Duval Street - The Florida Keys - 11/26/21

Duval Street is two miles long (traveling east to west) on this two-by-four mile-wide island, the furthest 'point-south' in the continental United States. You can dip your toes in the Gulf of Mexico, walk to the other end of Duval Street, and dip them in the Atlantic Ocean
all in an hour's time. St. Paul's Episcopal Church is the main focal-point right here in the middle of town. All along the way are shops and restaurants and that easy laid-back Key West Florida lifestyle.
Saint Paul's Episcopal Church:
The first service in the current building was on June 8, 1919. During this period many of the stained glass windows were ordered and installation began in 1920. The organ arrived in 1931, in time for the Christmas services. A major restoration of the church was begun in 1991 to save the building from collapse. The concrete used in the construction had been mixed with sea water and beach sand, which caused the steel reinforcing within the walls to rust and expand. This in turn caused many of the walls and columns to split. Work was completed in 1993 at a cost of nearly one million dollars. Today the church continues to stand as a beacon within the diverse cultural community of Key West . The church is open daily for prayer, meditation and visiting. Many concerts and other community events take place here and St. Paul’s plays a positive role in the community, artistically and spiritually. A magnificent church. Come and visit it.
We all live in a house on fire, no fire department to call; no way out, just the upstairs window to look out of while the fire burns the house down with us trapped, locked in it

Windows can be closed or opened. It can be also a sight at the soul, a view at a landscape or a stare at the weather. This is why we'd love to see your favorite window from your photostream this #TwitterTuesday. You can take a picture of your window, but you can also select your favorite shot from your archives.
Once you've made your choice, tweet it to @flickr adding #TwitterTuesday. We'll showcase the best ones on FlickrBlog tomorrow.

I like the way sunlight reflected by windows across the street highlights several windows on the West face of the Hotel Vancouver. The image is a little soft because it was shot through a double glazed window at an angle.
