More light than the traditional catholic darkness you mean? I know some modern catholic churches in italy. Can be surprisingly cheery.

Have noted that a lot of your pics seem to be from some distance away.
Lapsed?
Troubled conscience?

Nothing so interesting: many churches here are in fairly tightly built villages so it is hard to get them in frame when any closer.
And in Breisach I was just too darn lazy to go up the hill.
Here's a closer one of Teningen Lutheran church, to balance things up...

Took two pics taken on today's ride.
This is St Andrew and St Bartholomew, Ashleworth, Gloucestershire.
This is St Mary, Hasfield, Gloucestershire. This is a lovely little church in a nice location, my pic doesn't really do it justice, well worth a visit if you are passing.

Umberslade Baptist Church, south of Birmingham. Decommissioned, but still looked after by the local community.
Would love to do some research on this. It was build by the sons of George Muntz. George Snr made a lot of money out of Muntz metal, a cladding for ships that reduced fouling. He was also an MP and a political reformer, but with a reputation as an egotist. Very little obvious record of his son's actions and motivations for building a non-conformist church of such proportions.
Just up the road from me is Muntz park, which borders Umberslade Road, so the family affected my local area too.

interesting - I only remember one rip-off nasty meal in Italy and have the idea that that was in Pisa as well.
Maybe the same place.

Luckily it was only one night in Pisa then train to Florence where we found some 'proper' food

Today's church from yesterday's ride is Saint Andrew's in South Lopham. A heavily tree filled graveyard makes it difficult to get a picture, but this is unusual in that the tower is in the centre of the building, not at the end.

Today's church from Monday's ride is Saint Mary the Virgin in Burston.
According to the information board it used to have a round tower with 5 bells which fell in 1753 - the remaining one is housed outside and dates from the late 1600's

One final church from Monday's outing - All Saints just on the correct side of the Norfolk/Suffolk border in Stuston.
