Steeple & Cross - Day 113

ISO 400, f/11, 1/1500th sec

 This steeple image is from the St. Francis of Assisi church on the Lebanon green. The steeple and cross were well lit by the late afternoon sun and stood out against the overcast sky. I also had some great leading lines from the roof line to help draw your eyes to the steeple section as well. This is the 26th church I have photographed to date. 

Daffodils - Day 112

ISO 400, f/11, 1/90th sec

 A sure sign of spring in eastern Connecticut is Daffodils in bloom. You can find them in gardens, along stonewalls and in randomly in fields and pastures. I photographed these besides a well-maintained row of evergreen hedges. I really like the different patterns and textures between the grass, Daffodils and hedges. This is the 5th of 1000 flora images I want to create.  

Details In the Pediment - Day 111

ISO 400, f/11, 1/500th sec

 A pediment is usually a triangular gable forming the end of the roof slope over the portico. This particular ornate pediment can be found at the First Baptist church on the Lebanon Green. Though the original church was built in 1805 this section was clearly added at a later date. However, it is a wonderful piece of architectural detail. This is the 25th church I have photographed, and it puts me on a pace to complete this bucket list item by the end of the year.

Architectural Details - Day 110

ISO 400, f/11, 1/500th sec

I am blessed to live in a state that is rich with historic and old buildings. With that comes many unique architectural features and details that can be photographed. You just have to take the time to search for them while out and about. Case in point is this photo of the woodwork and top of a column of a church built in 1805 and is still in use today. This is the 14th architecture image I have created out of 100 I want to produce for my bucket list.

Overgrown Basement Door - Day 109

ISO 400, f/11, 1/20th sec

 Walking around a section of Rogers, a small hamlet in Killingly, I stumble upon this scene. The door was located on the back of an abandon church which led to the basement. The worn-out bottom of the door and the overgrown vines highlighted the current state of the church. The cross on the door is the only indication of what the building was. This is the 13th architecture image I have posted to date.
