@Michael Rawluk: Man, that's wrong on so many levels and cruel, Oh Canada! well at least it's only Minus 7 here but with the snow and freezing rain, it's creating havoc the roads...I have the Service provider under the circumstances, it's more like moving to a different country lol

Jeff from Pembroke Dock, Wales., United Kingdom

Looks like this Church could be as beautiful inside as you make it look from the outside,so maybe one day you could sorta kinda poke your lens through the door and give us a treat ?. ;>)
