Church



I have a fascination with old churches.  On my drive to work I could see this church tower from the highway and it became my obsession.  Some things I should just stay away from, but because I spent several stops trying to get a decent photo I had to display even though I am not happy with the outcome.  Lesson learned, small old neighborhoods have narrow streets, hanging electrical wire, telephone poles and street lights where you don't want them.

This is Holy Rosary Church founded in 1890 in a primarily Italian neighborhood.  The Holy Rosary Church has been served by the Scalabrini Missionaries.  Over the years the Italian families have moved out of the area making room for others.

Is it as small as it looks or is the photo deceptive? It's very nice, lovely details!

Ciel it is a rather large church but too many buildings and lights in immediate area. I really shouldn't have tried this shot : )

I would love to see the inside of this one...I too, have a fascination with old churches. The doors remind me of a church similar to where I used to live.
