They are amazing photos. Some people say they get ‘churched out’ while travelling in Europe; they see so many churches it gets overwhelming. I personally can never get enough.

I travel a lot in Europe where we spend most of the time in museums and churches. The Vatican has such amazing cathedrals. In Spain, you can walk and find so many surprises in local churches. I hope the locals are like you and don’t take it for granted. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much SBA.
I think maybe they are a part of life element of local people for so long time, they are already not so extraordinary in their eyes.
So we need travel to find them.
