Shadow Shot Sunday 2 is back, and I am looking at shadows that fall around the steeple and building of our church, the 1st Congregational Church in our neighboring town of Derby. Built in 1821, it fits the mold of the white Congregational church in the center of a New England town. The shadow here were probably taken in Winter and Spring 2005 after a restoration of the building and cupola base of the steeple. Plenty of intricate shadows up there - the view to the front door leaves us with shade covering the sanctuary. A New England tradition still...see shadowy art, spiritual and otherwise at SSS2

Linda estrutura...torres são sempre peculiares. Um abraço!
What a charming steeple. Why, oh why, aren't churches made like this anymore (human-sized, with loving attention to detail)? It seems like the newer ones in our area could pass for a sports stadium, huge and commercial-looking.
The picture perfect New England town, Ralph! And such a lovely church!! Love the steeple! I'm sure you'll be happy to see those BLUE skies again! Wonderful shadow shot for the day, as always!! Enjoy!
such a lovely sight! the fencing reminds me of a lighthouse.
looks like a wonderful fit for the town. beautiful church!!
Hi Bro!
What's up this cold winter days? Hope you and Mrs. P are in the best of everything.
We still have a crazy winter weather. Tired but we can't do anything with it.
I agree with your reader that, what is the reason that they don't build churches with beautiful steeple nowadays.
Really beautiful treasure that I hope the town will take good care of them.
Enjoy the rest of the w/end.

It's like a monumental wedding cake!
Love the viewing levels on this beautifully designed steeple! And so white! It must be an impressive sight in the streetscape!
