MONOCHROME MONDAY - GRACE EPISCOPAL CHURCH

On 4th Avenue, opposite the Post Office on 11th Street.  

Its Gothic architecture, rescued, maintained, slowly but surely: offering free Bach on Wednesdays, an independent junior school for 400 students and a modern playground weekdays, and lots more besides for the community.    

This photograph is for monochrome weekend because something old sometimes looks better than something new.  (An aesthetically pleasing, ancient and modern, renovation has been quietly going on here for years)

GRACE EPISCOPAL CHURCH  undergoing restorations as shown in previous post

Above, the gothic drinking fountain on the corner of the property, 10th and Broadway, needs fixing!  Wouldn't that be an unusual treat for passers by....

MONOCHROME MONDAY - GRACE EPISCOPAL CHURCH STEEPLE

Enlarge for detail

GRACE EPISCOPAL CHURCH STEEPLE, recently restored, and spot lighted.

Seen from an 11th floor window last night, overlooking 10th street and Broadway, New York.

Daryl has made the aesthetic point that it is a 'touch too dark' for her taste. I had NOT noted when she saw it that it was shot after dark, last night. It was interesting to receive an aesthetic opinion, just as it was interesting for Aileni to point out 'the little slices of life in the periphery'. Pictures may be worth a thousand words but a personal caption, or another eye, may well add another unseen dimension to the image.
