How pretty. It reminds me of lace embroidery on a dress!
thanks m – that is a cool way of seeing things. I was drawn to the pattern of course.. ha ha.
Beautiful patterning! What a vision the architect must have had.
thanks e – yes this architect was well known for his magnificent churches.
Very unusual, Sheila, I like that! Adrian
thank you A – it is a neat church with lots of interesting details.
It must have been slated roof time. I put mine up only two days earlier. 🙂
ha ha yes.. and yours is spectacular klaus! 🙂
I came here to say what Meanderer said! This easily could have been just another picture of shingles, but your composition makes it look just like delicate lace. What an interesting juxtaposition.
thank you very much… the design sure lends itself to that.
Nice composition
thanks stevie!
