The Eastern Church in Middelburg, Zeeland, The Netherlands, is often, somewhat disrespectful, called 'Thick Bertha'.

Perhaps thick, but beautiful to me. This time an image of the sunbathing 'Bertha'. She's not in need for any sun tan oil however, lol.

Beautifully composed with the natural framing, a wonderful sky and nice lighting and clarity in this image Cornelius.

While massive in its form, the octagonal shape and domed roof with its large glass spire soften the lines to show a beauty of its own. You framed the image beautifully with the trees in the foreground opened to a grass slope leading to the church. With a lovely sky as background, and side lighting to provide shadows and contrasts, you masterfully created this image. Well done, my friend!

That's a beauty...

The dome is excellent in details at full view!...

I also like the peek-a-boo shot of it too through the Shrubbery

I wish I was a Glow Worm, a Glow Worm's never glum, 'cause how can you be grumpy, when the sun shines out your bum?

I think that church is a beauty no matter the season Mr. C. - I like the natural framing of the trees and shrubs.

S&F It doesn't matter how many photos you take of this church (I have a folder of them! lol), it is always beautiful and always worthy of respect!

Another well-thought image...all of yours are...I've learned a lot about premeditation from you.
