Someone's Watching Over You

No my camera does not have such a strong zoom, I was on the tower of the Dutch Reformed church in Den Burg. Click the "church" label and see more.

She may not have a powerful zoom, but you certainly got the eye to take a quite amazing photo.
Very bright the sky!

Hello again Dick
This is nice to see, I have many pictures of Weather Vanes... but none taken from such a good vantage point.
I followed the link and would like to say that I hope many others do do.. Thank you for such a great post

Hi Dick, was trying to avoid the Friday's traffic, but unfortunately don't have much time otherwise - not even on weekends... ;))
The weathercock is great! The joggers' glove, his problem! Who told him to jog? ;))

This is cool! I love weather vanes and often take them myself. This is a great one.

Emery Roth said...

You have a wonderful eye for detail and angles. Like you, when I get to these ancient churches I have to climb the towers. So good to see leaves on the trees. We are still all colored in drab. Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting.

The weather vane really brings out the blue in the sky. Nice shot!
