Church Steeple

I was out looking for an "old" church to photograph for the photo club assignment and I came across this beautiful white steeple in a small town.  There are many like this but this one was right on my path so I took some photos of it.  It doesn't really fit the assignment, but I needed a photo for the blog, so here ya go.

Clock Tower on Campus

This clock tower is located on one of the college campuses in Abilene, Texas.  The sky is blue, and the bricks are a variation ion red and tan.  This tower is one of the main sights to see on the campus.

Hi Rise in Abilene, Texas

I've taken photos of this building before, but not from this perspective.

This used to be a motel, but now it's an apartment building.

Downtown there's this abandoned silo.  It's directly behind one of the popular coffee shops at the edge of downtown.

Lone Tree

My photo club assigned topic for Jan was Lone Tree.  It was difficult to find a "lone" tree that looked interesting, so I just scrapped the topic and entered other photos.

The Jan meeting was canceled for some reason that didn't make sense to me and rescheduled for another month, so I guess I have another chance to enter that topic.  While walking around downtown Fairbanks, I saw this tree, and others, that were separated enough from other foliage to fit the topic.  

I thought this tree looked beautiful, so I tried to capture it, but there are still buildings and cars showing.

Really......it's just a snow covered fir tree, nothing special so I'm not sure I'll enter it.

I just think it's pretty against the gorgeous blue sky on a cold winter day.

Bell Tower

This beautiful structure is the bell tower of the Episcopal Church of the Heavenly Rest in Abilene, TX.

The cornerstone indicates that it was built in 1953, but it existed as a church before that in another structure in downtown Abilene.

My heart is grateful that:

the temps have cooled off a little and there's rain in the forecast
