Church in Carrol Gardens Brooklyn, NY - sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. Right of the Brooklyn Queens Expressway.

Bright coloured church for sure with a lovely skyline in the background

Brilliant shot Charles.    That is a magnificent church and that is a super tall spire.  

Did a quick search and found out that for several years, the spire was illuminated at night and served as a beacon for mariners entering New York Bay.

Interesting how it's incorporated into the blocks.

Lovely shot Charles,  although those windows are different.

Interesting. I only drive by it in the daytime. Never knew.

It's funny I didn't get close enough to check them out.

Guess I'm a bit inquisitive, especially when it comes to older buildings.  

That's a lovely image. Haven't we seen that church in another of your posts, a while back?

This was my second trip to this area. The last time I was here I was attacked by Pigeons on a rainy day and I had to cut it short. Today I came i to get some of the building in the sunshine.

Well worth the return visit.

Thank you. It was a much nicer day. Sometimes it doesn't even pay to take the photo if the weather doesn't cooperate.

To some extent, we're always at the mercy of the weather

It seems that that's the challenge and the blessing.

Same here.  Not only learn about drones, but many other interesting things.

Drone nerds love knowledge. We are like the Cliff Clavens of Cheers.
