conjoined twins
These concrete cherubs were doing hard work holding up one end of a bench. Maybe their task was made easier by the thin spider web that connected them.

fascinators
As soon as I noticed that these statues had spiders on their head, it made me think of those posh British-y hats called “fascinators.”
According to my research, which took between one and two minutes, the proper placement of a fascinator is on the right side. So while I can give these statues partial credit for their effort at being fancy, I believe they ought to have been more conscientious about the placement.
Also, it’s probably just me, but when I picture St. Brendan, I tend to see him in golf attire.

at temple + main
I was standing near the corner of Temple Street and Main Street, which is as good a place as any to take a photo of an out-of-business church reflected in an out-of-business business.

the sacred heart
This feels like a Typical Western Image™, with the white church, set on the top of a dry hill, squinting into the afternoon sun, with nothing else around. And rendered in black and white.
But I took the photo anyway.

mt. olive
I was in Sudan (the town, not the country) the other Sunday morning. This church seems to be abandoned, but there was some preachin’ going on a block away in the town square. It was echoey and I couldn’t make out words but I knew it was a sermon from the cadence of it.
Oh, and also, I’d already driven by and seen it.
