First Presbyterian Church

First Presbyterian Church in downtown Spokane holds an elusive appeal for me. Sometimes when I drive by, I feel compelled to stop for a photograph, but then the building refuses to reveal its beauty and charm for the camera. The angles never seem to work right, or powerlines obstruct the view, or shadows fall in all the wrong places.

Today was different.

As I passed the church, the late afternoon sun cast a fiery haze over its beautiful gothic towers. Once again, I had to attempt the perfect shot. I'm not sure I succeeded, but perhaps I got a little closer than before.
