Day 155 - Upward Look

"...The clustered spires of Frederick stand
Green-walled by the hills of Maryland..."

John Greenleaf Whittier
"Barbara Fritchie"


One of the noted Clustered Spires* of Frederick, the 150 year-old steeple of St. John's Catholic Church, with its gilded dome and cross, towers approximately five stories high. Its soaring height makes it the tallest building in historic downtown Frederick.

*My Twin Spires post shows other spires.

I love taking photos of tall things from the bottom looking up. Nicely done, Marianne.
