Beautiful church, I love this capture and architecture the only thing distracting is the white wall to the right but other than that its wonderful. Great job *smiles*
...this one caught my eye....I love it! I can feel the history, hear the prayers sent up to deaf ears, feel the sorrow of loss as well as the moments of happiness. Wouldn't it be beautiful to be able to see the history of a place as a slide show...the passing of centuries in blinks of an eye. Great image of a sentinel in time!
It is easy in the world to live after the world's opinions; it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude. ~R. W. Emerson
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

If I had to guess I would have said it was a Scottish castle! Very similar styles. I like the solid feel you have gotten into this picture - well done!
