ParticipantThanks. I tried to balance it out with some temples in TW, some kerks in Amsterdam, churches in UK (lord knows I see enough of those things), but Amsterdam was just way too photogenic. Really loved my visit to that city.

ParticipantLooking at the shots, I’m pretty stunned. However, it’s feeling too religious in that thread. Part of me wants to take a picture of a science book in front of an athiest center (do they make those?) just to balance things out a bit.
There was a link on Fark a while back about someone wanting to build one but I think any bar would fit the bill nicely for most atheists. Or in my case the great outdoors works just as good.

ParticipantLots of fantastic photos from all over the world. I’ve got the camera, now I need to get about that “travel” bit of the equation.
February 16, 2012 at 1:36 am #44418ParticipantHeh, decided to do it. I’m feeling a distinct lack of sleep, so I’m just going to throw it up on the boards and pass out. Els – if it’s going too far, feel free to remove my science post 😛

2 of mine we taken within 10 miles of my house, one is less than 1 mile.
For me, Texas is exotic….

Yeah, but you got some awesome shots near your house, so it’s fine. The first one with super-saturated blue sky and low-perspective of the church is amazing. If I tried that at my hometown…well, it’d be pretty damn boring.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/orionid/6883842123/I’m surrounded by churches, but they all look like (are) shacks in the woods. These are the rare few. Or from overseas before I knew what I was doing.
PopeLarry I lovelovelove that wide angle shot. 10mm? Seeing it on the initial scroll to the post box almost made me not want to post.
February 16, 2012 at 1:50 am #44422ParticipantOne more B. Just glanced at my London photos and realised I forgot to include a photo I originally wanted to submit to this theme; oh well, too late now.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ilpadrino03/6884010545/Orionid – regarding your 3rd B, you never mentioned your vacation to Minas Tirith.

My stained glass window is from Northern California from when I lived there and the steeple is a few blocks away and Manhattan Nv is only 50 miles by road or 30 if you can fly bird like. I too wish I could travel the world but will have to make do with what I have for now.
February 16, 2012 at 2:13 am #44424ParticipantOrionid it’s my 10-24mm ultra wide angle lens. It’s my favorite lens.
I got lucky, it was the only break in the clouds, the rest of the day was grey and overcast.

ParticipantDamn work. Getting in the way of me pichurs.
Good stuff tonight. Too bad none of it is mine. 🙂 I had to dive.
Here are some bees – if anyone thinks I made a mistake with my choices, I’d like to hear. I just sort of shot from the hip.

ParticipantMy B-Side for this week:
The Lutheran Church in Venice, Italy
Astoundingly, my dad and I found the Lutheran Church in Venice. It was the plainest church we found all vacation. It was kind of a relief after all the WOW. However, it’s still a church in Italy – that’s a Titian (the big painting) and a Cranach portrait of Luther (the small one to the right).
Winnowing down to 4, much less 3, was hard this week. Italy’s major cities are STUPID with churches.
February 16, 2012 at 4:00 am #44427ParticipantYeah, but you got some awesome shots near your house, so it’s fine. The first one with super-saturated blue sky and low-perspective of the church is amazing. If I tried that at my hometown…well, it’d be pretty damn boring.
The first of my B’s (if that’s the one you’re referring to) was from Breckenridge Colorado. 11,000ft elevation does amazing things for the saturation of the sky.
U-Man, the aisle shot is fantastic.
February 16, 2012 at 6:11 am #44428ParticipantI hate to be the complainer but SageC 2012-02-16 01:00:53 AM thinks Dodger Stadium – April 13th, 2010 is a place of worship. I wish people would read the first post before posting.

This post is funnier when combined with your avatar.
