I am fascinated by church steeples, courthouse bell towers, any of those lovely bits of architecture that reach into the sky. This one is a beauty! I have long admired it on trips thru the small town of Mercersburg PA, procrastinating about stopping to capture some images. On the trip home after the Good Friday shopping trip I noticed my timing looked just about perfect for a sunset background. Amazingly enough I made it just in time to get set up & shoot. Above you see a few of the results. My biggest problem was the steeple was crooked on a lot of the images.....I did ask Andy why such a beautiful structure would have been built so crooked! (he didn't believe me). Thankfully post processing contains the magic needed to make everything OK. I plan to stop again for more shots, maybe with a blue sky or some lovely fall colors, but will try hard to remember to keep that Canon straight.

I agree, this one is a beauty and the light enchanting.
These are beautiful and fascinating! I especially like the views where light shows through the structure.
Steeples are indeed inspiring, and you found some dramatic skies to go with them. Great photos.

Amazing building!! Nice timing for the pics.
Perfect Sky Watch photos!
a lovely series of shots...the colors are beautiful and the steeple plays nice against that.
have a lovely weekend.
Your eyes seem naturally to turn to the skies. Nice shots with the steeples.
Church steeples and many other public buildings make gorgeous silhouettes, don't they? Their beauty reflects the time and money that went into building them. Yes, do take more photos of this lovely place!
I find them enchanting, too. They seem to take me out of this time and place and transport me to an eternal, enduring past. Wonderful stuff. Thanks for this.
Nice silhouette against the setting sun sky.
