The church stands against the gathering storm - unafraid for it knows its bridegroom comes to pass righteous judgment. Perhaps it should recall who Jesus had the harshest words for during his first visit.

I like everything about this except I'm having a hard time, personally, with the extremely tight framing on the bottom. It makes me want to see this as the top half of a taller building, but I know it isn't... Just another smidge of foreground and you're in business.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/12/2009 06:39:08 PM

This feels epic, the way the dark clouds hid the sky and the steeple towers over everything.

I see the contrast of the white church against the dark sky as something of a battle between good and evil. Very nice work.
