One of my favorite photos. I have a large photo of this spot that I bought almost 17 years ago. It is still one of my favorite photos of all. I was working at a business barter exchange and it was one of the photos brought in for display to be bartered. I chose that shot for my office for display. It grew on me so much I decided to buy it myself as I didn't want to part with it. Great job. Kathy in NH #3765788

Ohhh I want to live in this picture... The colors and details are wonderful.... Lovely old fashioned image... If this is Vermont.. I want to live there too... #3779072

Hurk (Steve) Hurkett January 04, 2007

Yes, this is Vermont ... and if you like living in the middle of nowhere, this is the place for you ... as a child, I lived 60 or 70 miles north of here, and would love to live there again ... but the weather, to me, is just a tad too cold ... and the snow, just a tad too much ... (I guess what I am trying to say, is, I am just to darned old for all this ... in fact, Rhode Island is getting a bit much, for that matter ... LOL

Kind regards, Steve #3779161

Oh my goodness does this place really
exist! This is the most beautiful church I've ever seen. I love simple
small churches, they are so much more personal. This has a great POV. The
composition is wonderful. As are the
gorgeous colors in the trees.
Awesome and beautiful image Steve.

Yes, Beverly, this place really exists, but it takes a couple days by wagon train to get there .... this place (Waites River) is just about smack dab in the middle of Vermont .. (west of Rte 91)... also note, that I had to remove some utility poles and lines from in front of the church (it was a bit cluttered ...

Thanks once again, Bev

I really like this scene Steve. Removing the poles and wires was good. They can ruin a good picture. Very good job.
