OK...so I have a thing about this church. Just this one church...found in Iceland. This is a favorite image, very unusual for me. I have no idea why all this orange arranged itself into to my convoluted imagination...
Bodie is a spectacular Ghost town in California. It's not far from Mono Lake and we really enjoyed our stay there. You can spend a whole day to see all the interesting all buildings. You may think, that people left this town just a view minutes ago.

St. Mary's Church in the village of Steeple Ashton, Wiltshire, UK. Although only a village, Steeple Ashton was a prosperous place in the 15th. century and this magnificent church was built between 1420 and 1500. This was the third church on this site but the steeple which gave the village its name was on the second church. The current church also had a steeple at one time but it was destroyed by lightning in 1670. Two men, who had been repairing the steeple after a previous lightning strike, were killed and the steeple was never rebuilt. With the steeple in place the church was 57 metres high.
I also took a picture of the inside.

Hartlepool Art Gallery
The art gallery is situated in the stunning and beautifully restored Grade II* Victorian Christ Church (Built 1854 by architect E.B.Lamb), you can enjoy contemporary and fine art, photography, crafts and work of national, regional and local importance.
It's worth taking the time to climb the 100 ft clock viewing tower for great views of Hartlepool and the nearby coastline.
Best of all, entry is free!
The church at Edale is dedicated to the Holy and Undivided Trinity and was built in 1885-86 to a design by William Dawes of Manchester. It is aisleless and has a broach spire completed in 1889. A chapel did not exist here before and there was a time when villagers had to go to Castleton church and even carry their dead via Hollins Cross to be buried.

This church was first mentioned in the 13th century. In 1367 there was a terrible fire, and the current building was built between 1451 and 1470.
Was officially opened on 7th September 1738 and is one of Norway’s best preserved churches from the Baroque period. The church is richly decorated by Erik Wallin in 1740-45. Knut Haugland was the former guide in the church and has written the book about Sollia church. He died 87 years old, and was guiding till his last year. A youger citizen of the Sollia community has now taken over the guide service (must be ordered in advance, unless joining Venabu's guided tours on Friday afternoons in summer).
The history of how the area was first settled by four families and their treks across the mountains to the church in Ringebu prior to the building of Sollia church is a fascinating story, even to those not usually keen on church visits!!
It’s a story of the determination of one man and a local population following tragic deaths in the mountains.

St Mary's church in the Batsford Estate that includes the famous Batsford Arboretum. The church is near the important Cotswold market town of Moreton-in-the Marsh, England.
This interior photo was a single hand held shot with a wide angle. The mixture of light and shadow made the exposure difficult so I had to lighten the roof beams to show off the intricate detail lost in the shadows.

Beautiful church in Dublin, Ireland. Lucky to be able to enjoy its beauty mostly alone in a very quite afternoon
James McCombs, a missionary who had just returned from service in India, came and found a few men and women in Lamoille who sincerely wanted a church. He met with those people in the school building and formally organized the Lamoille Presbyterian Church.

Den Horn, Groningen, The Netherlands
Het zaalkerkje met eclectische façade en neoklassieke elementen is in 1862 gebouwd als opvolger van een middeleeuwse kerk. In de loop der jaren heeft het dorp zich meer ten westen van de kerk ontwikkeld, waardoor deze nu min of meer los staat van het dorp. Tot 1981 werden diensten in het kerkje gehouden. In 2010 werd begonnen met de restauratie van de kerk, waarbij het houten tongewelf vervangen is door een gewelf van gipsplaten. Afgezien daarvan bevindt het interieur zich grotendeels in originele staat. Centraal staat de preekstoel met vijfkantige kuip.

The parish church of Southwold is dedicated to St Edmund. It is considered to be one of Suffolk's finest. The church lies under one continuous roof. It was built over about 60 years from the 1430s to the 1490s, and replaced a smaller 13th century church that was destroyed by fire. The earlier church dated from the time when Southwold was a small fishing hamlet adjacent to the larger Reydon. By the 15th century Southwold was an important town in its own right, and the church was rebuilt to match its power and wealth.
