This is the round church in Bowmore on the island of Islay in Scotland. Built in 1767 the reason the church is round the legend says is so the devil can`t hide in the corners.I took this on my first visit to Bowmore and finally got round to losing a few cars and a bus stop ruining the shot. Hope you like it.

Stunning shot, very good composition and I just love the softness of the colours and the dramatic clouds. Interesting description and story as well. Thanks for sharing.

Ian, this is a really great photo. I love how the clouds just barely tip the top of the church giving it an ominous, evilish look. I also enjoy the church's position to the houses. Great capture, I'm jealous

very surreal effect you have on this shot, i love the road going up to it, the road looks totally strange for some reason but effective . nice information also.

A cracker! You've done really well here. The sky is the deal-breaker though. Tremendous!
