Fleur-de-lis

My first of what I hope to be many entries is of a steeple on a church at my home-away-from-home. I rediscovered it the other day on my way to work and thought this would be a perfect picture to start this project on.

The Fleur-de-lis (Lily Flower), while prominent in many cultures long before it became a symbol of France, I believe in the modern era, its proliferation and symbolism around the world is credited mainly to French culture and exploration. This picture was taken in Clarion, Pennsylvania at the First United Methodist Church.
