A dramatic black and white photograph, captured at a low angle, focusing on the stone gable and bell tower of an historic church in Burra, South Australia.  The wall is constructed of rough hewn stone blocks. A circular carving is visible in the center of the gable.  The bell tower arch contains a small, dark bell. Dense, dark foliage from surrounding trees frames the structure against a bright, cloudy sky.

A winding path at Front Lodge in Moreton-In-Marsh leads through lush greenery toward a stone church with a tall, elegant spire rising above the treetops. The lane is bordered by iron railings on one side and a mix of flowering shrubs, white blossoms, and vibrant spring foliage on the other. Towering evergreens and copper-toned trees create a vivid contrast with the soft blue sky, while the church partially peeks through the dense landscape, lending a sense of history and tranquility to the setting. Wildflowers and neatly kept grass frame the quiet road, inviting a peaceful stroll toward the heart of this picturesque English countryside locale.

I took this in 2022 at Saint Mark's Basilica (Basilica di San Marco) in Venice. St. Mark's Basilica traces its origins back to the year 828 AD when the revered Saint Mark relics were either transported or, regrettably, misappropriated from Alexandria. A bad fire swept through the edifice in 976, but by 978, the church was reconstructed.

This is an interior corner of an old Italian basilica.  A very large pillar is in the foreground.  The ceilings are gilded.

This is the inside of a worship space.  You can see seats facing an altar.  The walls and ceiling are gilded and there is a mildly turkish look to the space.

In 1846, this church played a pivotal role in an uprising when Mexicans and Indigenous people resisted the American annexation of their territory during the Mexican-American War. They killed the newly appointed American governor, Charles Bent, and marched on Santa Fe. Government troops and volunteers advanced on Taos, where they launched an assault on the Mexican and Indigenous dissidents seeking sanctuary within the formidable walls of the San Geronimo church. The church, boasting walls measuring between 3 and 7 feet in thickness acted as an impregnable fortress. The first day the American cannon balls lodged themselves in the thick adobe with little effect. Seeing that the bombardment was not successful, the next day forces led by Colonel Price resorted to setting the roof on fire and storming the building. The cannon ball-riddled mission church was left to ruin and a new church was built in 1850. I took this photo when I was there in 2016.

This is a church ruin and cemetery in northern New Mexico.  The remains of the church are made of adobe and graves are marked with simple crosses.  The ground is very tan and the sky is blue.
