There is a church that lies across the great pathway. It greeted me when I arrived Indianapolis today. “Welcome to my city”, the church said. “I’ve been here a great long time and I have seen generations come and go, buildings rise and fall and my little city grow into something big. I think I’ve seen you here before too. Now take my picture and spread the word. Even though I have met many, I’ve still so many to see.” And with that, the church bid me adieu and began it’s hourly song of bells.
St John Catholic Church, Indianapolis, IN.
I agree, I find them welcoming too. It’s a pity that they are not open like they used to be, sign of the times to prevent the silver going missing 😦
Thanks.
Beautiful!
Thx.
Architecture brings character to a place/city, nicely captured ..
I agree. Thanks.
soo Beautiful ❤
Thanks Parth.
😀
I really love the last one. Great shots 🙂
Thanks. I was hoping to get a better moon capture in it. But if I set my shutter too fast, the church would be too dark.
Your photos are getting more attractive. Wish I could say that of my writing 🙂
Thanks. 🙂 ..
the copper spires against the blue sky – magic
Thanks Chas.
Great photos, Seth, of a very beautiful, and majestic place to worship!! Love it!!
Thx so much.
Nice! I love grand churches like that! So much wonderful character!!
Thanks Lisa.
Churches always have great architecture. Excellent shots.
Yeah, I enjoy what they add to the view.

Indianapolis!
Thanks for the re-blog.
The reflection in the windows of the convention center … nice!
Thanks LB.
church’s are so beautiful. I love their steeples because so much design and detail goes into them. I’m from Charleston, SC and there are tons of historical churches downtown! You have inspired me to take some pics!
I love Charleston. Beautiful city. I need to get back there and get some photos of Rainbow road.
lovely coloured spires, really cool.
Thanks. It’s a pretty church.
I love church photos. They tell a story.
Thanks Toni.
Ohhh i love the last one, the night one. It makes the Church look so majestic! Some churches look scary to me- big and imposing and I’m scared lighting is going to strike if my feet touch their grounds. But, most of the time they are enchanting. I like this Church, it has that timeless feel to it!
Thanks Tasha. That was a big ole moon last night. I wish I could have gotten it to look better in the photo.
Nice ! I like all especially the last one. It’s superbly captured.
Thanks Sonu. So when is the big wedding? Has it happened yet?
No problem Seth. The wedding is on the 2nd and 3rd June. Just little time left and there’s so much more to do.
I bet! 🙂
Yup.
fabulous architecture…shown through awesome photography!
Thanks Heather.
A very nice set.
Thanks David.
Clever, to have the Church speak to you and good of you to listen. This reminded me of I think Hawthorne who said all towns have churches, jails and graveyards.
Nice thought. Thanks Francis.

Thx!!
eyeing and goodnight is welcoming and inspiring 🙂
Thanks Tanveer
Love it. Especially the reflection of the church in her adjacent buildings. The most interesting reflection I have ever seen is the ever-beautiful Trinity Church, Copley Square Boston reflected in the monolithic mirror of the John Hancock tower.
Wow, I bet it was fab reflection. Thanks.
Another beautiufl set of photographs 🙂
Thanks Claus.
Great gallery … there is always loads of great details to be found in the church’s building and design … my pick is .. the last photo, but the reflection one is fantastic too.
Thanks Viveka.
Beautiful church, I love old buildings they just don’t build with such attention to detail anymore. I hate cookie cutter houses and plain block buildings I think I was born in the wrong era. Thanks for the pics I really enjoy your site and I always take a peak everytime I have some spare time
Me too! 🙂 Thanks for taking a peak. 🙂
Just gorgeous, Seth. I like how you view the world.
Thanks! That’s awesome to say.
Beautiful reflections Seth!
Thanks. 🙂 Glad you like them.
Great set to share look forward to what comes next.
Thanks. 🙂 Hope I don’t disappoint. 🙂
Been looking at your great photographs. As you say in your ‘About me’, i too love seeing the beauty of the landscape and the scenes around me-although I just with my eye rather than a camera. I am a photographic layman! These are cool though.
Thank you for liking my ‘Why City Jackdaw?’ blog-I am new to all this and still finding my way around. Best Wishes from Manchester, UK.
Thanks Andy. I’ve been to Manchester once and had a great time.
Thank you for these pictures. i have spent some happy times in Indianapolis researching Frederick Douglass at IU. It is lovely to see th
those buildings again.
Thanks Ann.
I love the way you look at buildings from so many angles. Too often we only glance and move on without really seeing.
Thanks kuwaitquilter.
