It's winter her now, and I've used this week to travel a bit to take pictures, as the snow probably will melt soon again. So last trip today for a while I guess.

I went to Hobøl Medieval Church yesterday, that is a real beauty. Stonechurch from the 12th century. And this picture is I'm very happy about.

This is the Holy Trinity Ukrainian Church and Cemetery in Clark County, Wisconsin. (The picture is from the internet.) My mother and father were married in this church about 1940. Mom is of Ukrainian descent, dad, more Scots. Dad passed away in '74, and now rests in the cemetery there. I live about 15-miles away.

Trøgstad Church. Medieval stonechurch built around 1250. Romanesque style. First time I've taken photos in fog, but not the last time.

This is a stunning photo, Mikkel. There is so much going on in it. Well done.

Såner Kirke in Vestby, Norway. This one is built in 2000, as the previous one was lit on fire and total damaged in 1995. During the years 1990-2000, we had a lot of church fires here. Several old churches was burned down, including an old stavechurch. 1992 was the worst year, with 11 church fires, where all where either succesfully burned down, or tried to. One firefighter died in one of the fires.

I walk past this church a lot, it's Christ Church at Spitalfields. I took the photo from quite a distance away as I wanted to get the goat sculpture in too.

This church hall I only saw for the first time today as it was near a city garden I wanted to find. St Botolph's.
