These old buildings have a presence, a character, that just isn't there with the new buildings. I would love to know the stories that this little church held.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

There's history and stories and just a completely different tone when the subject is an old church, or barn, or even a covered bridge. Like time stood still for one moment so that you could capture it. So sad that someone probably burnt that lovely piece of history down.

That is a scary thought, though at the same time, I know they can be forgiven, too.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

Unfortunately some have power lines running right in front of them, ruining any chance of me getting a good photo of them. Maybe I'll just photograph those anyway and try to figure out how to clone out the power lines. It would be bad to have no reminder the church existed just because of power line placement. <br /><br />You're welcome and thank you for stopping by and commenting.

Several churches have been victim to arson here over the last 5 or 6 years, including the Jewish synagogue that was in sight of our house. Yes, it is a sad loss. I will have to see if the local newspaper office has any information about it. Hopefully they do. I have been unsuccessful with web searches about it. <br /><br />A GPS that said, "Hey! There's something really cool over here!" would be great, and then for it to tell the story of the place would be even better. You ought to make your suggestion to the GPS people. Maybe they would run with it. <br /><br />David and I are forever saying that we need to look up this or that when we get back home and, by the time we get back home, we have no clue what we wanted to look up. This stage of life is certainly an adventure, isn't it? haha<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

I too like coming upon these old places. If only there was something or someone there who could tell the story without one having to do a lot of research. I wish my GPS had a setting where I would get narrations about all the different places I encounter when I travel. Sometimes I've googled places when I get to a computer, but usually I forget about checking.<br /><br />Arlee Bird<br /><a href="http://tossingitout.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tossing It Out</a>Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.com
