Lou,
This is definitely a great photo of the church. I think the lights in the windows make it mysterious and glorious all at the same time

Sandi,

Glorius Hallelujah to you for your
delightful comment and imagination.
I liked your interpretation of seeing
both glory and mystery in the window
lights. For you where does the mystery
come from?

Hey I know where that church is! I can't believe how many times I've driven by it and NOT stopped for a shot, it's definitely on my list. Good eye Lou. #10641764
