Project 365 – Day 76

I love this old church only a few miles from our home.  I’ve photographed it before, and each time I find a slightly different vantage point.  This is my favorite so far.  The strong framing of the trees is almost made-to-order.  The image composition also goes three layers deep, with the foreground tree, the church, and the stand of trees behind it (camera right).  I had a totally different subject idea in mind for today’s photograph, but I missed catching the light I wanted.  So on my way home, I couldn’t help but stop and shoot this old friend again.

This church was established in 1866.  The current structure was built in 1882.  It has been well cared for, and to this day has an appealing charm.  It is so simple yet it has enduring character.  There’s also an old cemetery behind it, which I plan to explore someday soon.
