Steeples?

Here's one that isn't going to make the cut. It's simple, with good
color, but rather uninteresting. Non-traditional steeple on a
Catholic church.

With most everything around here being "mission" style, and very
unsteeple like, we don't have too much in terms of phallic steeples to
be found. Unless I can dig up some steeple analogs I might not have any
suitable images to contribute this time around.

Cheat, find something that looks like one and shoot into the Sun.

Come as close as you can. I think this mandate is more specific than I
thought it would be. My bad. I live in NE, and the damned things are
everywhere.

I have the same problem. What's more I have been laid up after having
several skin cancers chopped out of my leg. I think I am unashamedly
going to have to pull some interesting steeples from out of the
collection of steeples I photographed in Europe last year (Ops! Its
now the year before last).

Yup! I'm not sure who all those folks back East are trying to impress
by waving those steeples around. Perhaps there are other inadequacies
which have to be compensated for by the various New Testament
denominations. ;-)

Anyway I am going to give it a try and see if I can come up with
something to meet the ...er spirit of the mandate.

My submissions will be traditional steeple with spires, but I would
include bell towers and mission towers in the mandate. Actually, a
"steeple" is a tall tower and what we picture as a steeple is the
tower plus the spire. It's still a steeple without the spire. Many
steeples don't have spires.

The word itself is from the Old English for "tower".


Just to add to this, here's another reject:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/64147677/Mt%...Est%201856.jpg

This is the Mount Zion Primitive Baptist Church built in 1896 near Mt
Dora, Florida. It's a steeple - a tower - but no spire. I don't
think a spire is a requirement at all. A Greek Orthodox church in
downtown Orlando has a tower with dome atop, and not a spire, and
that's a steeple.

One of the most famous movie scenes ("Vertigo")involved Jimmy Stewart
in the tower, or steeple, at Mission San Juan Bautista south of San
Francisco. Stewart played the role of a retired cop, too. It
should be right up your alley.

There is no spire at Mission San Juan Bautista.



So to what do you aspire?

I had already used the adobe brick bell tower at Mission San Miguel in
a past SI.

How about if I submit some to help you all out? No shortage of
steeples, spires, pinnacles or other pointed adornments to buildings
etc here in England.

BTW:

The "Vertigo" tower was not original. It was a Hitchcock Scale model
set construction, built at Paramount studios of wood, papier mache and
matte paintings and no longer exists. It was never on location at San
Juan Bautista. The stair case was a studio construction.

The original spire on which the Hitchcock tower was based was damaged
in an earthquake and demolished after a fire. It was never part of the
original mission construction, so it was not part of the Hearst
Foundation restoration. The Hearst Foundation has been responsible for
the restoration of two California missions which are on or neighboring
Hearst property. The other is Mission De San Antonio, located on Hearst
property within the Fort Hunter-Liggett Reservation in Monterey County.
