My husband called it the "church on a perch." (As usual, click on the image for a better look.)
It really is amazing to see such an exquisite town built into the side of a hill.

Why Gannet? Why Search the Sea?
- Gannet Girl
- Gannets are enormous and sleek creamy-white seabirds, with black wingtips, yellow heads and necks, and startlingly outlined eyes. They nest on the rocky cliffs of the European and North American coasts of the North Atlantic and, once grown, spend their days sailing across the ocean. The acrobatics by which they make their living ~ steep climbs into the air and speedy plunges straight into the sea ~ are rivaled only by those of pelicans. What better metaphor for a sweeping search of one's life choices and opportunities than a gannet extended above the waves, a regal and yet restless surveyor of the vast ocean surface? The gannet reminds us that life is an adventure in both beauty and profound unease, and that the sea itself is limitless in its textures and possibilities.

I'm surprised that the leaves weren't further along on the trees. HF is well south of me and it looks the same around here.
It's not Canterbury, but 'twil suffice.
That church is absolutely gorgeous. Did you get to go inside?

This is a very worthy addition to your veritable collection of images of churches (PEI and others). Built into the side of a hill???!!! Incredible. Now I really want to see Harper's Ferry.

Isn't this most interesting..it almost has it's own story in the architect. I love these kinds of towns...great pictures!
