That's a lovely composition: I really like the lines of the steps leading into the bulk of the tower.

Thanks Andy

That’s what you call luck, I was just trying to stand back enough to get both in without getting run over!

My bike in front of the Martinskirche, Neckartalfingen, south Germany.

This one deserves a better picture so I'll try again sometime.The tower really is leaning as much as the picture suggests.

Those porches in Brit churches are a wonder/much appreciated. Very often open even when the church is locked. Only a matter of time probably before I spend a night in one. Leaving no trace of course.

Peter und Paul Kirche, Leinfelden-Echterdingen.

I really should take a picture from the front of this church sometime. The Brick construction is unusual in this part of the country.

Sankt Bernhardskirche, Neckarhausen, south Germany. With water feature.

Stadtkirche St. Laurentius, Nürtingen, south Germany

St Michael & All Saints, Little Leigh.

Nice lychgate vantage.
Intended for coffins pausing apparently but they seem to have seen rainsodden cyclists coming. Almost enough to shake my atheism.

Be carful if you do church by-laws means you may end up having a night in the cells. Madness I know but that’s the state religion for you.

Really cant see it being a problem to tell the truth. Despite the ramblings of some bod in the guardian comments years ago (seem to remember him as a rumanian bedroom warrior with some strange gripe about britain this is a pretty easy going place. He claimed that britain was a theocracy

I think some bod sometimes comes round in the evening to check all is well/lock up. So usual rules apply I reckon, arrive late, leave early. Plus,not on a saturday night in case someone is inclined to come round especially early on sunday to prep things.*


* Probably not the verger or whatever i once exchanged a few words with in manchester cathedral. I asked him a question of some sort. Musing aloud, he saud, ah, what day is it tomorrow? Ah sunday. Good old c of e.
