The colour of the brick is SO rich, and I love the shape of the windows. Nice!!~PS. Hope that your birthday was great!!
Sally, this church is very eye-catching, not only for its attractive architecture but for that very red red color they paint it. I love it.
Olivier, merci mon cher. Thanks for the birthday wishes! I went to dinner with a friend and treated myself to baklava later. Mmmm!!
Alice, bon dimanche a toi aussi!
Matthieu, it’s one of my favorite buildings in town.
Kate, it has a great bell tower, too, which you can see better in the other photo I linked to. Thanks for the birthday greetings. I did have a very nice birthday.
The colours here are sumptuous Marie, and the Church has an autumnal colour all of it’s own.
This is wonderful! While gazing at your photo I can almost feel the sun warming my back… Very nicely done!
Wow, vibrant color! Interesting church architecture too.
MarieMcc, it looks like we are in church-photos frenzy. Me gustan muchos los colores primarios de esta fotografía.
