It looks like it's being bullied by its two neighbors. Poor little thing.

Quite pretty though.

È bello venire qui a visitare il tuo blog perché si trovano dempre degli scorci incantevoli!
Che mi fanno venire anche una grande malinconia ma come dico sempre la malinconia é come una coperta sotto la quale scaldarsi...

The way of proper conduct and moral integrity. Often used with the: kept strictly to the straight and narrow.

How cozy they all are, snugged up together like that. Nice capture, Diederick.

That's a cute little church.

Sqweezed in is right! Such an adorable little church. I can see that you did not loose your touch while I was away... :-)

James said...

That's the cutest little church that I've seen in a long time.
I wonder what it looks like inside?

Thank you, Hilda!

Merçi, Olivier!

Grazie, Nouvelles Couleurs!!Sei gentilissima oltre che brava come pittrice.

Proper conduct and moral integrity. We are all trying hard to stay on that road, Dina!!

Thank you, Brattcat!!

Welcome back, Roger!!

Thanks, James!!
I have tried to find a way in, even from the back, but no luck.

I would not have guessed a church, it's lovely though and the two "big guys" are as well! :)

Literally. It's shape and design makes it actually look like it was squeezed in there. A very tight fit, I'd say.

This reminds me of the book "The Little House" about a house that used to be in the countryside, but gets overtaken by the city...

Dina said...

No way in? ooh, a mystery ...

Maybe the entrance used to be from the side. Oi!

That little building in the middle looks like it is about to burst.
