Well done Patti, well captured, the arch does a great job finnishing the image.
Thanks for posting it.

Great use of the archway as a frame, overall a great comp. Quite a lot of history in one spot, thanks for sharing.

Great capture, Patti. The composition is fantastic. Such a shame to let a historic building go to ruin.

The angle you shot this at makes this a very interesting and unique photo Patti. The brickwork is beautiful with the ivy creeping up it. A lot of history in one place. Thanks for sharing.

You're gonna have to quit posting things like this. I can't afford to come over there and see all of this history in person. Oh, well, I guess I'll have to settle for you to share it with us. Very interesting piece of history with a very good photograph. Thanks for sharing these.

That's lovely Patti and it has such depth and great composition. Taken at a great angle and has nice clarity. Well done my friend with a great writeup. Thanks for sharing this. TYU=thank you unnecessary ;)

Very nice pic. You gotta love that old brickwork.

Thanks for setting the stage for us as to the history of this church. The composition in this shot shows off your great eye for an artistic look. I love the brick work..each individual brick has worn in its own unique way and adds such charcter to the foreground. Either that or they didn't know how to make bricks in a uniformed manner :) No mind. It works very well in this pic and I like to think of them wearing away individually. I really got hung up on the brick work, and then I noticed the middle of the take, with the lovely flowering tree on the right and the contrasting yellow/green large bush on the left half concealing the crowning jewel of this photo. I love the whole thing...ooppps forgot to give you some constructive criticizm...I know I left it here somewhere..lol... :)PJ

Great composition & angle Patti! I love how you caught the clock through that magnificent looking archway! Thanks for the neat history too! This one is headed to my favs! ~ C);-)

You do so good with that little camera you have. I'm going to have to step aside when you get your new one, I can see that! Excellent capture. The stonework is pretty in color and rich in texture. Well done. No need to respond.

Even in thumbnail size, I could tell this is truly well composed. Full size - even more so and very detailed. Thanks for the history behind this, too, Patti; it's all very fascinating! - Patty

this image has been very well captured and I love the different textures on the stone that were used to build the awesome looking archway. I like the view of the clock through the arch too. Great work

Nice work, old arch but what means the black thing on the arch right side?? not another coffin...

I don't know Pathe! I better go back to the history books and find out! lol! It definitely isn't a coffin and most likely was support for a statue or a candle.

I really like how you lined this up..Looks great..

I have had the pleasure of meeting fogz twice, and she never ceases to amaze me. What a fantastic photo that is! You just keep getting better and better my friend.
