In lieu of actual content tonight, I present a picture snapped outside a church in Rome, GA last week. The parking lot was across the street from the church and they had evidentially spent some church funds to do some landscaping and wanted to keep it nice.
Not too far outside of Beaufort, SC are the ruins of the Old Sheldon Church. It was built around 1750 and burned by the British forces during the Revolutionary War in 1779. The church was rebuilt in 1826 only to be burned again in 1865 by Sherman’s men in their march to the sea. Finally taking the hint, it was not rebuilt.
As we were leaving another group was showing up to look around and I took this throw away shot with them in it. I now wished I waited for them to leave to frame, as I think I may like this angle better. Although they add something because it appears like they all looking up at the building…
When we came to the parking lot at the trailhead after our hike, our friend Carol looked over at the lake and remarked that she wished she had brought her camera. Well I did, so I walked down to the shore and snapped a couple. I liked this one best.
