Description
- Scotland, Loch Awe -
Because of the neverending rain I had to visit another church, a truely HIGHLIGHT of the area.
But there I was almost despaired about the raindrops on my lense and the many trees around, so it was nearly impossible to get a complete catch of this old building.
St Conan's Kirk overlooking Loch Awe was begun in 1881 and substantially altered and added to until 1930.
Walter Campbell, the architect and a local landowner, and his sister Helen, included on the exterior almost every style of church architecture and embellishment.
Most of the kirk is in a Norman or Romanesque style, including not only early and late types of this but other and totally different styles. (The interior I will show next days.)
St. Conan is the patron saint of Lorne and is reputed to have lived in Glenorchy.

B&W seems the right choice for this setting, especially given the awfully driech weather you're experiencing; great photo, and your research is acknowledged.
Perhaps all that rain served a purpose, for you'd never visitied all these wonderful locations with bright sunny weather! ;) LOL! Original work in B&W!
Ah, but still there is mystery lurcking about as I can hear the words of Agatha Christy come to life by viewing this photograph. V
real good shot
a verrry hard shot to make with all that rain! you did great though! i love the darkness here...has almost a gothic feel!
A famous kirk, B&W shows it off very well!!
Ohh.. now I see.. it is a beautiful and old church. Despite the wheather and the despair of the never ending rain, you managed to take a pretty good picture.
