When I walk my dog, sometimes I hear a tolling bell. It's Montreal, Quebec, a city of churches. When you look up at them, the details of the sculptures on the walls are beautiful. I don't go to church but I imagine it's even more beautiful inside.

I love walking through old churches and cathedrals. There was a time when Christians, Jews and Muslims all worked together building these places of worship - those were the good old days!
ReplyDeleteWhat?! I've never heard that, and I'd guess that if the Jews and Muslims did help it was at the tip of a whip. Please tell me where I can read more about it.
DeleteGood gosh, that's a beautiful church! Your picture almost makes me want to convert all over again.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, this photo, and the church itself, is absolutely gorgeous! What a wonderful take on the theme!
ReplyDeletethat is absolutely breath taking!
ReplyDeleteThe churches in downtown Montreal are simply amazing aren't they. Nice picture.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I bet they would let you take a tour inside if you asked!
ReplyDeleteYou should pop inside, it is probably as amazing as the outside.

Striking photo. Very dramatic. That's why I love walking in New York City. The architecture is amazing.
ReplyDeletegood looking up for this one.
ReplyDeleteOh wow!
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous. And capturing part of the tree branches with it adds a nice touch. I don't go to church, EXCEPT to see the insides of them when they look like that on the outside.
ReplyDeleteThey don't architect 'em like that any more...
ReplyDeleteWe have churches this grand here too. I don't attend services but I will go inside to check out the architecture. Really nice take on this prompt.
ReplyDeleteThe word "majestic" comes to mind!
ReplyDeleteThat is truly beautiful. I'm Catholic and can just imagine what the Catholic churches are like there. Gorgeous picture.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous church... I can hear the bells now!
