They are very strange and also very cute! I can't imagine how they built them!

Marvelous architecture! I've seen pics of miniature spires on castles, but not a church.

those smaller spires were part of this particular style of gothic: like turrets to watch over the world; and they're odd sights, I agree. They do look like rockets, though they're part of the gothic obsession with repetition, of arches, piers, spires, vaulting (ceiling arches), etc. Repeat, repeat, repeat---everything pointed towards the sky (heaven), of which this was just another example. A fascinating shot, clumping a few facades into one shot, with different styles and hues. It looks like the church is seen behind a structure, but having never seen it in person, I can't tell. The hues are vivid, the shapes clear, and the overcast sky sets them off. I love the brickwork in the facade, a warm use of browns and beiges. A complex packed shot.

Re your comment to my flowerpot image (today)...I was going for a semi-fabric look, a soft-etching look, not a sharpened look. If it came off as a photo with too much 'sharpening', then I didn't communicate what I wanted. (I don't think I even used sharpening---it's an old postwork, I don't remember now---I was experimenting with texture. I'm sorry it came off as oversharpened.

That's one mass of spires! Wonder what the television reception is like? Spectacular sight and capture!

Very interesting net-gothic architecture

If two steeples are good, eighteen must be better. Based upon Mark's architectural explanation I must be thinking gothic. All that aside, what a dramatic shot. So much to see. Outstanding.

Stunning capture my friend. God bless.
