Holy Hill on the horizon
While looking through a website to find a place in Wisconsin we might want to visit this weekend, I ran across this photograph of the hills in Erin Township with Holy Hill [Basilica of the National Shrine of Our Lady, Help of Christians] silhouetted in the background.
When I was prior at Holy Hill, some friends who lived nearby had a photograph similar to this, but the entire area was covered with dense fog. Just the top of the hill and the church were visible standing above it all like an island in the sea.

that does look lovely.
I hope it is as lovely in it as from this distance.
Beautiful. So painterly.
It is beautiful inside. Next time you are in Chicago and have time to take a run up to Holy Hill (northwest of Milwaukee about 30 miles), you must make a visit. Incredible stained glass windows and a charming shrine chapel with a 19th century statue of the Virgin with the boy (not baby) Jesus.
