 This is a small church in the town of Riverchapel. The original does not have a blown out sky, but I liked the way it followed the lines of the roof so did it intentionally. Although it looks remote, there is housing visible from pretty much any other angle you look at it. And yes it does overlook the sea.

I am wondering how different processing would have done, I chose the bright look to bring out details of the brick.

Thanks for looking.

Even before scrolling down to see the title, I thought it was an Irish church.

What a wonderful old church, looks like it overlooks the ocean? Would love to see more angles of it. It's a bit bright, but that's just a nitpick.
