A MountainWings Moment...

I Am Only One
==============

I am only one,
But still I am one.
I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something;
And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to do the something that I can do.

~Edward Everett~

This is an old church on Main Street in downtown Sumter, SC. This is a view of the back of the church as seen from the outpatient hospital parking lot. I was so amazed at how soft and silky the clouds looked as I got out of the car to go join my mother for her procedure. I let her out at the entrance door so she would not have to walk so far. I really didn't do this sight the justice it so deserved. I said a little prayer and entered the hospital... What an idiot to forget to bring the umbrella! LOL!
Great composition

@vickisfotos Well, it was the soft and silky clouds that I really wanted to capture here. The fact that where they were so illuminated in my view was right above the church. I really did not do this much justice. Thank you, Vicki!
