Description
Part of the bell tower at Saint Edwards Seminary in Kenmore, Washington.
I guess when the Catholics turned the property over to the Washington State Parks Department, they took the saints with them.

great photo.. beautyfull stone work
perhaps they have gone to mass
Great detail.
A cardinal sin!! Nice architectural shot and great symetry.
pity the saints are gone, beautiful image anyway
wonderful building and details!!
Those are just begging for a couple of contemporary works!
Wonderful capture!
A good capture, Tara. Lots of nice detail in the architecture of this building. At least they are not missing statues from English cathedrals, ripped down by mobs during the Reformation. Most Christians seem to understand these days that they are all brothers and sisters, not deadly enemies, that indeed perhaps 'militant humanism' is a greater threat to those who hold faith ( in any God ) than centuries of persecution.. ;o( Warm regards, from a chilly, damp Glasgow, John.
Superb capture Tara. God Bless.
I love the brickwork, wonderfully ornate too. Clive
Splendid compositon! Very nice capture. :)
Most beautiful architecture and details. :)))) Sweet lighting. :))))) Most excellent capture. :))) Thank you for sharing all of the beauty you see. :))) Carry A Smile In Your Heart :)))))
Lovely design and capture!
so the Saints went Marching Out?
I wonder who the two saint that were removed were or did they just disappear? I guess we may never know. Nice photo.
LOL @ Mike! A shame they're gone, maybe someone should donate something to take their places; animal statues or birds or something? Anyway, it's still lovely architecture, I wish we had more stonework like this around. Most excellent shot!
Interesting detailed photograph!
Must have! LOL How odd? Not done here in Britain.. That is a strange thing to do... But loving the brickwork Tara.. Good shot.. Rob
Backing up debbielove here, unthinkable in the UK. But a great shot, the architecture is wonderful Tara, well done.
S-U-P-E-R-B! I thank you for this one. I want to see more from you. 5+!
WOW! What a beautiful architectural artwork and you captured it so beautifully :-)
Wonderful very detailed shot of this beautiful architecture!!!
Great architectural shot, with lots of interesting structure, texture & detail to admire. Since it's now sort of a government building, maybe they could put a Democrat & a Republican ranting at each other in those niches...
Great pic Hugs Susan~
very great! textures and colors details and whole are perfect...
Neo-byzantine architecture (XIXth)
The saints would have just finished the windows. A lovely capture.

fun smiles at the words do read wonderful stare with color warm hugs, Linda Kaye
