It has been observed that I tend to photograph tall, pointy objects that reach to the sky. In my defense, such objects are plentiful in architecture, and are noticeable and often are iconic on any particular skyline.

Unlike most phalluses, this particular phallus is attached to a church. In this case, the church is most unusual because it has two dragons attached to it also.

Interestingly, this church is also used to sell items to the public .. I wonder what Jesus would have done about that if he showed up?

Well, its hard to photograph a cellar from the outside!

That is the Niguliste Church (Estonian for Nicholaus). And those are not dragons; they are gargoyles. Just ask Terry Pratchett.
