In May, We featured the Friendly Avenue Baptist Church and do so again for today's "Sacred Sunday" shot. If you look back at that photo, you will notice this painter on a ladder high off the ground painting the trim. We were struck by the fact that he was so close, literally, to the stained-glass Jesus and thought the title "In God We Trust" fit the moment. Because the sky was so white by the painter's head, it plays a little trick on the eye in this close up shot, seemingly severing him from the main building.
Nicely done.

This is one amazing shot!!
Sometimes I think God helps photo bloggers by putting them in the right place at just the right time.
Great!

I was so impressed with this picture that I had to refer to it on my post today.

And FA is right--you should have a caption "contest" for the photo. :)

Dear FA:
Thank you for the link and the recognition for "Sacred Sunday" on GDP. Not that we photobloggers live for praise; however, at times one wonders if others are looking, appreciating, understanding...........
We're trying to maintain "Sacred Sunday" photos for the Sundays of 2009 and hoping that people of all belief systems will appreciate the time for reflection. At least we can count on you and Dina (Jerusalem Hills Daily Photo)!

That's a great shot. Very well done!

And the ladder seems leaning on thin air, a trick due to the white wall paint? Someone up there is holding the ladder so the painter can finish his chore.

I don't know about God, but I think he's probably trusting the ladder...'cause if it should somehow fail he's gonna crash to the ground...
Nicely-composed shot, for sure!
