...this is the steeple.....

This is the church and this is the steeple.... at Centenary United Methodist Church on Friendly Avenue. On Wednesday, February 10th, winds over 50 mph ripped through our town and huffed and puffed and tried to blow (among other things) this church down. Fortunately, the church is made of brick and all that toppled was the 25 foot fiberglass steeple. The steeple has been in place since the 1980's when it replaced a smaller one. 

This is our Sacred Sunday shot, when we take time to reflect and be thankful that Greensboro made it through the wind storm. The photo is grainy because we took it at night with minimal ambient lighting. It reminds us of an x-ray. We're sharing this with the Monochrome Weekend crowd to let the world see the teetering steeple.

Kind of a spooky shot! I'm glad that nothing else was damaged on the building.

Fifty-mile-an-hour winds are nothing to sneeze at! We've been through several hurricanes so know something of what you experienced.

Have a great day!

I agree with Jacob, it is a spooky shot. Fabulously spooky. :)

I like the effect of the shot very much. Too bad though about the steeple.

I had to laugh at your comment on mine. To be honest when I shot it, I didn't notice how phallic it was. Then after downloading and posting it, I did see what everyone else does but heck it's just a tree, ha.

Wow - it looks like an action shot, grainy, at night, and wild. Very cool.

[Chuck]

Cool effect.

Good fix.

It is like ghost town - very interesting shot. Bricks are what you a buildings have to be made of - ask the three little pigs :)

Surrealistic.
