This caught my eye at night and made me think, reminding me of a thought that fits the festive season. Amidst all darkness in the world, there are spots of light. In the bleakness, there is hope. We just need to do our best and support each other. As long as there is life.

With these pictures, I wish you all happy season's greetings and a happy new year! May all your holidays be great!

Lovely images. Season's Greetings to you too

The one in the Ice Breaker thread?  Yes. Near Barton Grange, off the M6 Motorway between Preston and Lancaster.

Yes, I found it indeed.
I was chatting with David about the overhead wires.

lovely shots of a beautiful church. Let's hope that the real meaning of Christmas will come to our hearts ...

Thanks for the compliments. I will certainly agree on this one. :-)

The church itself has some interesting history behind it. It was restorated by volunteers after some years of passive idling, then got burned by an arsonist in the latter half of the nineties. But the volunteers did not give up, just as the church's remains were somking, they decided: "We will do it again!" And to this very day, it is still standing, now in occasional use even. :-)

Thanks for the history of this church - that does make it even more interesting.
And I am really happy to hear that the volunteers did not give up. Just great!
