I waited for some sign of human activity but nothing developed.

Perfection. Cleanliness is next to Godliness, so they say....if that is true, then this image is so crisply clean that you must have a special place waiting for you in heaven. ;-)
Love the contrast of the swooping electrical lines.

Fantastic shot and b/w. It reminds me the feeling of loneliness of the pictures of Edward Hooper. Very good, Jerry.

Nice and peaceful, beautiful and rich tones, although I have to say, those wires are spoiling the mood.

@Roman: : ] I would have given some kid $5 to ride through on a bicycle!

A really nice shot, but yes there is the church, and there is the steeple, but open the doors and "where's all the people?" Haha.

@Viewfinder: Inadvertently, you make a point that I've been considering...the necessity to add the human element. As the photography evolves, an empty frame no longer presents the same challenge.

Lambspun from Madison, Maine, United States

A problem lately at many churches....human activity. Nice shot with wonderful shadows. Peaceful!

why would you want to ruin such a fine photo with "human activity"...?

I'm with grant -- one person riding through on a bicycle and there goes the gorgeous geometry and the play of light and shadow. Then it's just a kid riding through on a bike.
