No matter where, it seems that the Brits didn't like to leave churches intact for too long. Great Britain under Henry VIII, Ireland under Cromwell, and the USA too it seems.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, their activities is our photographic gain - I love the texture and sheer joy of colour in the old brick work - and the spring green tree just making it's presence felt.
this is a very unique and quite convincing perspective and angle ... the texture of the brick wall, the glimpse of blue sky ... all blend into a fabulous photo !!
