Basilica Menor de la Inmaculada Conception, Jardin, Colombia.
It dominates this small town!

Very nice when did you visit Colombia?

Very nice when did you visit Colombia?

Spent three weeks there in August.
Great country, friendly people. Only saw a small fraction of the country and would love to go back.

St John the Baptist Church, Rochdale is a Grade II listed building, built in the 1920s made of brick. Designed inspired by the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul.
The mosaic of eternal life is made from individual 1" tiles.

"Designed inspired by the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul"

Having been to the Hagia Sophia I think that the 'inspired' part of the statement needs to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Some 9 years ago when I was clearing my Dad's house at Valley I stopped here on the way home,

Llangristiolus, just off the A55 across Anglesey, a lovely spot.

Chapelle des Mariniers or Sailor's Chapel in English at Cajarc on the River Lot. The chapel from the 16th century was used by the sailors who worked the barges (gabarriers) up and down the river.

Not quite a church. A late 11th century Chapelle Pont Saint-Martin in the Haute-Vienne, France......

Chassenon Church, Charente France.

The church probably dates from at least the 8th or 9th century and is situated close to a Roman Thermal Spa that pre-dates it by several centuries. Also nearby is the site where a meteorite struck around 5 million years ago leaving a crater 10 miles in circumference. The front facade of the church includes Roman tiles from the spa and rocks from meteorite. Unfortunately the image suffers a little image blur. I was using my Lumix S1 with a vintage Zeiss 28-85 Vario-Sonnar lens. I'll have to go back and do it again.

What is the ViewSonic connection?

They have a computer and screen to display song lyrics and prayers and bible text etc. during the service. This picture was taken after the service but the computer was still on and thus displaying that text. A few minutes later when they shut down the pc the screen would be blank but I wanted a quick grab shot before Jason (the guy in the shot) started dismantling the various display items.
