Looking back through my travel photos I see that in many places there was, on our agendas, an Abbey, Cathedral, Chapel, Church, Convent, Monastery, Mosque, Pagoda, Synagogue, Temple or other place of worship. As we travel along the road I often take snaps of God's houses we pass by. These buildings range from ordinary to ostentatious.
I think of
Naves as the central aisles in a church. Wikipedia whose collective knows more than I do has a detailed entry for
Nave. I've quite a collection of these images but will endeavour to share some in which camera-toting tourists are not visually polluting them.

I had to smile when you mentioned camera toting tourists, because weren't you one too :)
ReplyDeleteGuilty as charged although I don't have a big kit. Just a Galaxy Note Phone and a Lumix Point and Shoot.
DeleteOnce again, I love your photos Jill. My favourite today would be Crakow, Poland. It's beautifully elaborate.
ReplyDeleteThat Krakow one was quite the cracker.
