ABC WEdnesday—S is for "spires"

The 377-foot (115-meter) spires on Quito's
Basilica del Voto Nacional make it the
tallest church in Ecuador. I might  have gone
up if I hadn't already been feeling the effects
of Quito's setting 9,350 feet (2,850 meters)
above where I normally live—at sea level.

[To see more ABC Wednesday, go here.]

    Your last two photos have been quite in-spire-ing. Those two clocks are pretty much in sync, too. If they could sing, what song could those clocks use to serenade a reprobate? Time is always on their side, isn’t it? So this one?
