Description

While wondering around rural Ohio last weekend we came upon this beautiful old church. Unfortunately the church was closed and I had to settle for exterior shots. I like the outhouse in the back.

Unless there's a more convenient facility inside, I suspect that outhouse in the back may be a big reason why the church is closed, David! ;-D Terrific find well captured! #9667398

They have a similar church with outhouse in the Texas Hill Country but they leave it open during the day. Love your perspective David #9669550

Wow interesting leading lines and nice framing with the trees. The bold red against the textured sky makes a wonderful focal point. Fabulous lighting in this presentation. #9670124

Does that mean you used the outhouse in the back? The tombstones are quite unusual! ... Not sure I'd feel comfortable using a washroom in the middle of a cemetary! Fantastic capture of this wonderful old church though, King Davey Pooh! Love the great colours and that beautiful sky! Nicely done! :) #9671564

Great shot, excellant leading lines, comp, color and detail. It amazes me how some of the tombstones are so big while the others are so small. #9673153
