St. John's Angelical Church, Lunenburg, NS

[gnagel1]

One of the things I enjoyed most about Lunenburg were the churches. I visited four or five--and each one encouraged my photography.

All of the churches had similar ceilings. Apparently, these churches were built by the local fishermen who had little experience constructing churches. So, they decided that the strongest roofs would be something like an inverted wooden ship. #5 and #10 might best exhibit that feature of the ceiling.

Here are some favorites from my visit to St. John's Anglican Church (opened in 1754):

Great photos! I wish my church photos from Portugal would have come out half as good. I don't think I have the eye for shooting architecture.

Looks like the ribs of a whale. For novice builders, they created a beautiful structure. More beautiful shots from you. You definitely have the knack, as Brent said.
