We have several old, well preserved churches in the area where I live, and I am so happy that the community has done such a great job at maintaining their beauty. This partucular church was built in the early 1800's. I was never inside, but I do plan to visit inside in the very near future. I tried to gather some of the exterior highlights of this church's architectural design, and only hope the photos are large enough to do it justice.
I love this collage. The church building is gorgeous. I especially like the shots that included the slate or lead roof and the ones that include the round window that looks a lot like a daisy.
Looking at each picture, I can see how you were drawn to photograph it from every angle! How lovely to have beautiful churches in your neighborhood; it's like that up here, too, in Lunenburg.
regarding Dill...I guess the "spoiled factor" comes across? He's just loved to pieces by everyone who meets him...yes, really. He's very sociable, so he gets quite spoiled, I confess!
Love the textures found in each of these shots. I went out a few weeks ago in search of wooden doors like these and gave up. Kudos for your community keeping these beautiful churches up.
Older churches are so beautiful, they must have been very expensive to build and it's a great treasure that they are still gorgeous today. I wish they would go back to that style instead of the generic monstrosities that are seen all over the US nowadays.
It's really nice to see an old church being preserved. For me, there is a comforting feeling when entering one of these older buildings. I really like that you did a collage so we could see the many aspects. Can't wait so see the inside. :)
Thank you for your story as well\s. It does reassure me that others have gone where I am traveling...
