Description
Home Sweet Home went over so well yesterday, I thought you'd like to see the immediate surroundings. Please ZOOM for details.
St. Luke's Episcopal Church is in what at one time must have been the front yard of the Home Sweet Home Museum.
I picked this quote off the church's history page, "In 1910, due to increased fellowship, the simple chapel was replaced by the present building. St. Luke's was designed by Thomas Nash and constructed from warm gray stone that came from the excavation of the first subway in New York City. The church is a replica of All Saints' Church in Maidstone, England, the ancestral home of many East Hampton parishioners."

I really appreciate all your comments and support.
Here's to a good beginning of a new week,
Bill:)
P.S. The building with the pointed roof in the middle of the picture is a wind mill with the arms and blades removed for repair. It is fully functional when all assembled.

i love this one, Bill. The saturation of the green in the foreground goes so well with the buildings. As always, your eye for composition is splendid!

The first thing I noticed about this church was the English influence. Absolutely gorgeous shot.

yes, the saturated green really does make a wonderful foreground for this picture. This has real presence & clarity, and the lights in the grass (the natural accents) and in the bricks make this feel very alive. And your eye for composition really does allow the buildings to relax behind a big swath of grass. Nice choices. Love the light & clarity on this one, just plain fine work. (And thanks for the links & history too. I checked out T.Nash too. I remembered his name from my school studies.)

I agree with PJ, this could almost be rural Licolnshire or another paert of the english countryside, nice dynamic quality to this.

Great shot.. As an Anglican, love the Church. My eye is drawn to the tower-like structure in the middle, behind the house. Your composition brings is out nicely. What is it? Wish I had the groundskeeper there to do my yard. Cheers, mug lifted in your direction this AM. Skipper

Outstandingly colourful! The green looks great brought out. I try to bring it up as well! I THOUGHT the church was familiar. Deb and I used to live just down the road from Maidstone. Often went shopping there! Really nice scene. It'll look brilliant as a whole when the blades are back on the mill. Great work, my friend! Rob.

Beautiful colors and detail Bill!

Dynamic geometry, POV, clarity, rich lush colors and textures in this pristine scene, Bill! The partly cloudy sky makes for a wonderful backdrop. And, there is also a St Luke's Children's Hospital here in Southern California.

Beautiful Bill. My father was a landscape architect - I think they call it here in the States. He designed parks for the city and private owners. He would have loved the lawn, so lush and green.
