Through the skylight by overalvandaan

Through the skylight

My get pushed challenge from Harry, @hjbenson, was 'to take a photo of historical architecture from a non-standard point-of-view'. It was more of a challenge than I thought. I had the plan of making some pictures of the wharfs (the slate warehouses built in 19th century) near the Porthmadog harbour. But I couldn't find an interesting point of view yet and I was too busy with making sure Sep and Roz wouldn't fall in the water. So I gave up the idea for now.

When home and tidying up the wash upstairs, I looked through the skylight and thought, this might fit the challenge.

We live rural and next to a little church, Eglyws St Beuno. It's very old, from the 14th century and one of the many St Beuno churches on the pelgrims route to Bardsey Island, Lleyn Peninsula.
@hjbenson thanks for the challenge!

We have a skylight it shows clear sky unless you stand on the edge of the bath, then you can see next-door's gable. You get a 14th century church. Brilliant....

Great tonal shot and churches, being much photographed, are a real challenge to find a unique POV. Well done!
