Yesterday I posted a photo of the tallest building in Ramsey, the flats overlooking St Paul's Square. Right next door to those flats is St Paul's Church, bathed in a deep blue sky rather than the rolling clouds and grey days we have had recently.
St Paul's is the oldest church in Ramsey, although the facade above is quite a modern attachment. One of several churches now in the Parish of Ramsey( Parish rather than town) it's still the most popular which a steady stream of people passing through it's doors daily, not just for wedding, funerals and christenings. The ladies of the church hold regular coffee mornings and charitable events with assistance from St Paul's hall adjacent to the the church. The Church is the focal point for St Paul's Square and shopping precinct. It's also right opposite Ramsey's one and only Nightclub, Nightlife. I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions, but Patrick Swayze has been in both when he was filming "Keeping Mom" here. I think he confined his dirty dancing to Nigthlife though. The ladies of St Paul's Church only like their teas and coffee hot!

Awesome shot! The angle of the building and location of the sun are perfect. I can almost feel the sun.
This photo is spiritual, love how it casts violet hues.
Nice photo. The sun is perfectly located over the church.
Babboshka: What a wonderful capture of the steeple into the skies.
Beautiful shot. Nice effect.
Lavender-licious! So beautiful.
Interesting about Patrick Swayze! Beautiful church shot!
Fantastic "Sky Watch" shot! Wonderful contrast between the church and the very clear blue sky!
Did the sun do that BY ITSELF? (the star thing?) Beautiful!!!
Quite a coincidence! Sandy Carlson has also posted a St.Paul's church at Writing in Faith - and the angles are very similar!
hehe, nice pic, nice info, cool Skywatch!
This is nice! The sun didn't scatter and wasn't harsh! Happy weekend to you!
great angle and fantastic light
bon choix d'angle, et bonne idée pour le thème du Vendredi
good choice of angle, and a good idea for the theme from Friday

Wom Swayze as a certain ring to it don't you think..

The sky and a church - always a great combination.
Great shot! I can even see the sun's rays shooting out.
Very good post!
Great shot!
Beautiful Church, wonderful sky! But my question is (pardon my ignorance) where is the Isle of Man located? Is this a real place?
Thanks for visiting Mike's Show-N-Shine! Mike
Great capture - picture perfect timing.
A terrific angle! I love the sun bursting out from behind the steeple...it couldn't have been more perfect! The violet tone is great!
Great sho! I guess God is watching after all. MB
Wow! Gorgeous photos! I loved visiting the Isle of Man through you.
Many thanks for the comments. I have been nursing a poorly siskin back to health today who flew into the window, so my vivits to fellow bloggers has slowed down a bit.
Hello Joe Rooney. The site is fabulous.
That blue!! Oh my goodness it's brilliant, deep, perfect. And the spire seems eager to reach for it as if reaching for God himself. Fantastic photo.
Ha! Love the photo and the great story to go with this church and town. Enjoy your weekend...
This is a superb shot with the church almost in silhouette and the sun's rays striking the church.
Perfect!
Beautiful shot! I do believe that's the most blue sky I have ever seen! Just gorgeous. I admire church photos, too. Well done.
Church steeples are always a welcome sight. beautiful
