I almost never post images in real time. I woke early today with the idea of taking photos of a church two blocks from our old house. It has beautiful gothic arches with plenty of stained glass windows. Guess what? Not one ray of sunshine. Not one. I went any way. The glass is half full side of me knows the day is much cooler because of the heavy cloud cover.
We ride by this lovely church all the time and yet I have never visited it until today. The windows are beautiful. Someone had just mowed the grass and trimmed all the hedges. Sweet.
Is not this just a darling church? I love these gothic stained glass windows. It makes me wonder what the inside looks like. Thanks bunches for joining me on this cloudy Friday in Georgia. As small churches and arched windows are a couple of my favorite things I am linking with Laurie at Bargain Hunting With Laurie for her A Few of My

Beautiful windows, Olive. It doesn't look overcast at all. You might have gotten a glare if it were any more sunny. Uh oh...that's my glass half empty side! lol!

i love the look of this church. i love stained glass windows. our church has them and i admire the work of the artist. when my husband and i were in n.y.c. we went into several chuches to look at the workmanship. You might want to se if the church is open or go to their office and ask permission to look at the church. i can't imagine that you would get a "no" take care. Rose
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Love the architecture, and I can really appreciate the stained glass! The sun may have actually hindered the glass photos, I think these are great!
ReplyDeleteJust found you! You have a great sense of humor, your daughter is one year older than mine, your DH is much like mine, and you live in an old house too, oh, and you're a Christian as well.

ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend.
Oh Olive, this is a beautiful little church. Not only are the windows beautiful, but the architecture is so unique and pretty. You got such wonderful photos of it. I wonder when the church was built. I'm so glad you linked this to Favorite Things Saturday. laurie
ReplyDeleteI LOVE old church architecture and stained glass windows!!!!! You got some pretty amazing photos from the outside!! They must be even more incredible from the inside. Perhaps if you go by following a mass/service on Sunday they would allow you to stop in to take a few pictures. Maybe the priest/pastor even has some historic information he could share with you. Thanks so much for sharing these. Have a wonderful weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteOh these pictures are all so beatuiful! what stunning windows!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful church. And the stained glass windows are just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLovely windows. Thanks for posting them.

Hi Olive! It's a gorgeous place! It reminds me of the little church in Laguna Beach where my Husband and I rewed our vows!
