This is the first of three images of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, Port Washington, WI. We paid our first visit to this beautiful lakeside community a couple of months ago where this church majestically watches over the town from its hilltop location.

This beautiful piece of engineering art connects Staten Island and Brooklyn. It has always struck me as a majestic part of the landscape of the five boroughs of New York City.

Not quite sure what to say about this. If I were artsy, I might call it, “A Study in the Great Battle Between Wood and Water.”  You thoughts?  🙂
