That's My World - Stoplight Steeples - NC

When I'm stuck at a stoplight it's common for me to take a quick photograph to break the boredom.

More often than not there is a steeple I can focus on so I have a lot of shots of steeples taken from my car while stuck at a stoplight.

I don't know much about most of the steeples. The first one was taken in downtown Raleigh, NC, the second in North Raleigh and the third in Durham, NC. The last two were taken in downtown Raleigh.

The last steeple is Christ Episcopal Church and has a weather vane on the tall steeple and the cross is on the tip of the roof.

To visit other parts of the world, please go to That's My World Tuesday.
