The eagles soar over St. Francis Xavier Mission, near Toledo, Washington-- The site of the first Catholic mission in the Pacific Northwest-- 1838. The mission primarily served Native Americans and members of the Hudson's Bay Company. The original mission burned in 1901 and was replaced by the church in the picture.

Bonito contrapicado de esa iglesia que parece querer tocar el cielo. Abrazo amigo Bill.
Picando alto
Muy bonita composición del contrapicado.
Un abrazo.
La iglesia tiene una bonita torre, que destaca en el azul del cielo.
Un abrazo.
Beautiful old building with shadows imposed on it
That looks good, love those shadows on the roof and tower.
Eagles have made a come back from near extinction, and I am delighted by that. So fine to see them soaring.
Una bella imagen de arquitectura religiosa, amigo.
Un saludo.
Steeple looks well built. Reminded me for some reason of something we did as kids--both hands pressed together, thumbs together in front, index fingers up touching at tips, last three fingers touching knuckles. We'd say, Here's the church, here's the steeple, open the doors (part thumbs) and see all the people (wiggle lower parts of last 3 fingers)
