A Sense of History

Taken in front of the Catholic Church of St. Andrew, right across the street from City Hall.  I love how beautiful and simplistic this church is.  The colors are subtle and attractive.  Thought I've never been inside, I hope that the interior and the exterior are similar in design. Yellow and pink flowers filled the large planted areas outside of the church.  So lovely.

I was just wondering, dear readers, where are you from?  I'm originally from rural Pennsylvania, moved to New York City, lived in London for a bit, and have now moved back to New York. Leave a comment and let me know :)

I Pray the Lord my Soul to Keep

Candles of worship in Westminster Cathedral.  I love candles- and I always, always get suckered in by these big stands of them in churches.  There is something weirdly magical about it.  All of that flickering fire burning, like the hopes and dreams in the hearts of the people who have lit them.  I find it to be very humbling.

I'm posting the next bunch of  photographs about the darker side of loveliness.

This one is a detail from the most gorgeous pulpit that I have ever seen in my life.  It was wooden, and carved so intricately, that I stared at it for probably five minutes.  Beautiful.

This was taken in the same church as St. Michael Melting.

Isn't this just divinely cool?  Crumbling Medieval pillars.
