inspired by spires

I have been impressed with the number of elegant spires we have seen in the Wye Valley.

This one is on the church of Saint Mary's, in Ross on Wye. It is one of the largest churches in Herefordshire and can be seen for miles around. Its slender spire is 205 feet tall and was built in the fourteenth century. It was rebuilt in 1721 and repaired in 1852 after it was struck by lightning. What a responsibility.
