Simple and nice. I think that what I like most about this is the fact that the sky is void of any clouds, it adds a certain something to the simplicity of this and it really makes you focus on the actual church.

I know this one well. Bodega, CA. Somewhere I have a wonderful, old print of it from my early days. I spent a couple weeks every summer in Bodega. Beautiful Zone System rendering here.
