Florida Church
Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 20 October 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.
This architecture reminded me of churches in the northeast; I am really moved by church steeples.
PS: Thanks, Fliss, now I do remember that this church was in Cocoa Beach!

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Wow, this white-columned church reminds me of big Baptist churches in the Deep South.

@Viewfinder: My reference was, of course, New England, but you're right, the design has been used in lots of places. It was a surprise (to me) to find this in a small beach community.
Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada

@Lorraine: Thanks, Lorraine ... it's built along the lines of our hometown church in CT.
@Betty: Thank you.
Fliss from Melbourne Beach, United States
Hey... you stole my photo... I was driving by there the other day and told Mike that next time we were in Cocoa Bch that I was going to take a photo... hey you... church photo stealer... hahahahahaha... actually, that I know of, that is the 2nd steeple there... when we had hurricanes Jeanne and Frances... that steeple had tumbled point down into the roof... and never had a camera with me then... you will be happy to hear it is really starting to cool down over here.

@Fliss: Hee, hee ... I love your comment, Fliss. YOU live there; we only visited, yet I got the shot before you?
I think I remember photos of a church steeple that was turned into the roof of the church after those hurricanes in 2004. I didn't know that when I grabbed the shot, though. It's a pretty church!
Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
Great looking church, and a rather grand entrance.

@Observing: I thought so too!
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
I love steeples on churches. They look like they are reaching up to touch God. Lovely photo Judy.

@Marion: I agree, Marion ... pointing heavenward with prayers and hope!

So pretty, Judy! Love the height I feel in this. Wonderful framing!

@Tracey: I'm glad you got the feeling of the height that I did.

Nice shot, love the sharpness, and the clarity of the colours, nice one Judy.

@Jeff: Thanks, Jeff ... all the photos look larger to me today - is it me, or did AM3 change something?
Barbara from Florida, United States
Gorgeous capture, I too am fascinated by church steeples and their architecture. Beautiful blue sky too.

Marie-Hélène Ammor from Casablanca/Paris, Morocco
It's very beautiful, Judy, simply pure and graphic and I wish I could enter and visit .

@Marie-Hélène Ammor: I love this simple style of church, often very light and bright inside.
It reminds me of our old hometown church in New England.
Chris from South Jersey, United States
It does look a bit like a church in the Northeast - nice building shot....

@Chris: Thank you, Chris ... I guess that is our reference point, but as VF stated, it reminds him of churches in the south.
MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom
A very beautiful church and the steeple is magnificent. I love the white churches you have over there Judy.

@MaryB: Thank you, Mary. While I love your magnificent cathedrals, I do love the simple, white churches.
tyan from Singapore, Singapore
the church looked fantastic against the clear blue sky.Caleb will be attending a kindergarten at a church that looked a bit like that,just that it is much smaller,but caleb calls it the 'big church'.:) thanks for your comments at my blog.I really really wish the brothers will be close to each other,it is like an 'inheritance' that i would like to leave behind for them.but i am not sure if sibling closeness can be 'nurtured' or 'fated' if you know what i mean:)

@tyan: Dear Ty, there is no better way to nurture the love between your sons than to show them the love you have for Lawrence and vice versa. Love has to be seen and felt ... and I'm sure they see that!
I'm so happy that Caleb will be going to the "big church" for his kindergarten! xx
