I often photograph this church when I'm stuck at a stop light in downtown Durham, NC. Unfortunately the wires get in the way of wide shots, so I tried a close up of the bells which is the one part not crossed by wires. Below is the whole church so you can see why the wires are an issue.

About Me
- Carver
- My original site, Carver's Sight or is that Site, was inspired by reading the blogs of people who I got to know through the Melanoma Patient's Information Page (MPIP). As time has gone on, I find myself talking as much about gardening, photography, and other random thoughts as I do about melanoma follow up. I am happy about that. I have set up an additional site, Carver Cards, which is primarily a photoblog.

'The Bells, the Bells...!' said the short bystander with the crooked back.
Sorry C, carried away with the aftermath of the most fabulous MGP race.
I have a collection on wonderful places just full crossed with wires... Sometimes I like them for my photofraphy hobby, but mostly not as a citizen.

Great monos Carver!
We all have or special 'somethings' that get us going when it comes to photographic topics :)
Have a great day!

I notice more now, just how many cables there are, and they are always in the way...:-(
Lovely Bells, pretty mono Church, horrible cables..lol
Very nice close-up of those bells.
I like the lines on across the sky :)
Gd Nite!! :P
p/s: Sorry Linky went on strike at T.F on your first attempt
The more we communicate the more we get crossed wires - love the bells!
I agree - the wires are an issue (lets put them all underground or go wireless - that's even better). Grand structure. Good subject for b&w.
Same here. But good that you have a wide angle camera.
Great shots.
Luckily most of new cables is under the streets etc. :)
Nice shots!
All these urban wires are entirely non-photogenic, aren't they? But the church and its bells are beautiful indeed!
God bless you!

What a fantastic church !! The bells are really big and old !! I Really loved the pics..Great one..
A stunning piece of arcitecture.
Love to take picture og them as well :-))
Nice week to you from Anne
Beautiful pictures!
I agree with you that wires can be really annoying when photographing. Nice b&wh shot.
The wires! I kinda like it with the wires - so American! You can walk between skyscrapers and woden pole and wires around. They put metal poles here at the NC State Fairgrounds - those are giant rusty things - made me miss the old tree ones :)
Sometimes those wires just get in the way. But, they are a fact of life. I do like the bells, though.
Good you did a close-up shot; those cables do spoil the otherwise picturesque church.
Very lovely building! Perhaps the wires could be an artistic link between worlds! Yeah! Maybe!
Yet still the beauty is there!
It's a lovely church, but I do agree with you about the wires. Shame the modern age has to intrude.
I liked the church monochrome very much...beautiful capture!
imposing!
Have started a new meme Pet Pride where you can display your or your friends’ pets every week beginning every Sunday! Do join in and share your pet pride with the world!
The wires do ruin the view of a very pretty looking church.
SOmetimes wires get in my way too, mkaes one mad!
But I think the wires make the picture interesting. So for my sake they can stay:)
Trying to find a clear shot without cables is difficult, it is a bother to erase them all. Love the church and bells though.
Beautiful! This church looks very similar to a church here in East Texas.
Most wonderful monochromes ..
i love b&w photos of churches....gives an old dramatic look.
Marvelous monochrome photos. Alas, I've had to learn to live with electrical wires in MY photos too.
Hugs and blessings,
It's a beautiful church, Carver, cables and all! :)
