[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I do not wish to offend Christians who participate in this project.
But. Do you ever saw something like this? On a photo is represented the church in one of Nigerian cities. It is Catholic church.
But pay attention: it is enclosed prickly with barbed wire! Weigh its kind makes horror and on its facade the inscription "peace" flaunts. I did not see in a life anything similar. Especially there, where lives very many Christians.

besides your comments on which i cannot comment since i dont know the situation there, the photo is very captivating, almost haunting. You've caught the light very well and it has made the picture look very powerful. i like it well done.

Bonsoir Alex,
Effectivement une étrange église mais dont le mot PAIX résonne fortement. Belle présentation même sila saturation des couleurs me semble un peu forte. Merci.
Gérard

Alex,
The picture as an art may be undisputed.
Your comments begets belief.
The church is a disused Methodist Church and served the town for years.
A Modern replacement is located just 10 mins walk away.
Please pop in this year if you decide to stop by at the annual Lafose day, (Usually first Saturday in August).

This is a wonderful picture. I love the light! Great color, and a very unique looking church. TFS
