First, I apologize for not getting the top of this wonderful little church but I took this photo out of the car as we were making a turn. But it's such a part of the history of The Glen that I had to post it. Along with the tower, this is the only other building remaining from the time when it was a Naval station. It was built by German POW's that were held at Glenview Naval Base during WWII and stands proudly on the corner of Patriot & Chestnut Streets. It's a beautiful church and as been extremely well maintained. Enjoy and thanks for coming by today. Anita

Beautiful sky Anita, the sky enhances the beauty of the church. A good mini history of the church too. Anita, this is a wowzer of a shot considering it was taken from your car as it made a turn !! Thanks for sharing.

Surfs Up,

Anita, if you were driving, making the turn and taking this beautiful shot all at the same time, I applaude you. It may (or may not) be a first in photography! You've captured the simple lines of the church very well and the vivid sky is such a good contrast to the starkness of the church.

If you can't be a good example -- then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.
Nice capture of the church and sky here Anita. I even like the clarity on the street sign marking the intersection.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.
Remarkable piece of history, Anita. I like that you left the street signs in, too. Your from-the-car-shots are excellent!

It's all about perspective and perception.
Beautiful picture. Lovley building and clear blue sky. Excellent work.

Nice shot, even without the top of the spire. I have a photo of the church at Bodega, where Hitchcock filmed The Birds, and I have been hesitant to post it for the same reason. Maybe I'll take another look at it.

Thanks to all who comment on pictures in my gallery. Please accept my apologies if I am unable to thank you each time, and please don't feel obligated to thank me for my comments.
Nice 'drive by' Anita. I like those stained glass windows a lot. Thanks for that history as well.

No need to get the whole church, Anita. The contrast between it and the sky is striking. Very sharp focus. Great work!!

More does not always equal better.
A fine shot and a nice old church.

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.

You are indeed a woman of many talents for it to have turned out this well Anita. No complaints from me LOL. What a pretty little church and I love the stained glass windows in this. Thanks also for sharing the history behind it.

Truly great friends are hard to find, difficult to leave, and impossible to forget ;)
I'm always so thankful when you include the history of a shot you've posted, it just gives the photo even more "depth" to me. Thanks for sharing Anita.
