Yes it's a church tower. The church was built in 1669 and the tower added in 1681. It's the oldest building in our town, but has been through a few fires and reparations. Actually it was built on the same spot where once stood an even older medieval church, if memory serves me right I think 13th century, and before that there might even have been an even older wooden church. The thought of it always fills me with awe. That people have been worshipping the same God in the same spot for 800 years or more.

For this blog, I have chosen a template that allows me to show pictures as big as possible . Some of the things you usually find in the sidebar, you will find here at the bottom of the page instead - Blog Archive, Followers etc.
My camera is a Nikon Coolpix 4600. For basic editing of most photos and collages I use Picasa 3. Sometimes I also experiment with some more "artistic" effects in Photoshop Elements or Paint Shop Pro.

Is that a church? If so, it's another interesting contrast to the kind of thing I'm used to over here. Thanks for sharing!

Looking again now I should perhaps add that the white building in front does not belong to the church... Only the tower in the background.
