Wires


Wires.  The bane of my existence when I am trying to do architectural photography!  Especially with old churches and their steeples.  Wires didn't exist when these churches were built.  This is the Old Presbyterian Church in Huntington, NY.  And get this - it is 240 years old!  How beautiful would this photograph be if there were no wires in front of it!  If you want to see a fascinating historical photograph of this church, click on this link, and you can see a really old photograph with a dirt road passing by the front of the church.  There is also a fascinating history of this church on that page as well.  What a history!  Historic Church Photo

Thank you for sharing this wonderful article. So sad to have so many wires distracting the beauty of the church and its steeple.

I tried to photograph some spring trees in my neighborhood but there were so many wires that it was frustrating. Thanks for the link. Betsey
