A und O, Alpha und Omega, Anfang und Ende

“Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.”

Winston Churchill

And that includes the cobwebs.

One church, four views

I approached this church, walking up a slight incline.  I tried the tree on the right as a frame:

34 church a (640x480)

Getting a bit nearer it looked like this:

34 church c (640x480)

Even closer, and now in portrait:

34 church d (480x640)

And once again, on a different day:

34 church e (480x640)

Although the subject lends itself to a portrait format because of the spire I prefer the first and second shot (the second more than the first).

This is for Paula’s Thursday’s Special with the given task once over.  Okay, it was a few more than that.  More different looks on the same subject can be found here.
