Hyde Chapel Revealed


As I related in my post of 17th January 2009 close views of Hyde Chapel are extremely difficult to achieve as in summer the trees shield it and in winter the sun is low.

However, the leaves haven't begun to appear just yet, so a few weeks ago I managed to secure this image from the corner of School Lane and Stockport Road.

Cool! So different from the other post!
Now, there is a kind of mystery in all atmosphere there...maybe about the graveyard or because the green in all, but very beautiful !

What a beautiful chapel. Lovely shot.

In Norway a chapel is usually a small church. This one is huge!

Very nice in B & W.

Looks very old.

Spring is there only celestially, the earth in that corner still has some warming up to do (and leaf growing)!

That's the longest steeple I think I have ever seen.

Birdman said...

What a difference, these two shots. This one seems so echoic of a past. I love it!

Jackie said...

That's a really lovely image. The B&W just adds to it. Beautiful.

Good capture before the spring leaves.

Well caught Gerald, nice chapel.

marley said...

That looks really nice. Good idea to show it in B&W, effective.

This is what I call a very hight spire!!! And what a difference comparing the previous 'green' shot!

Now, I understand what you mean with these leaves.
The bare tress and the chapel are perfect in B&W. It gives an atmosphere of mystery, and I guess that color version at this time of year, would gives more a "sadness" feeling.
Thanks to show us at that particular moment.

This has to be haunted. Well the image is haunting in a gothic nightmare way. There must be a White lady lurking there somewhere.

Rose said...

I am so glad you got this--I am behind on visiting so not commenting on all, but sure enjoyed seeing this.

Well done! Did you see Tom's view from afar?
