Gorgeous Larry! One of the best pictures of Cataldo I've seen, and being a resident of north central Idaho, that would be a LOT!

Janet Detota October 26, 2004

This is just so wonderful, Larry! Have you thought of printing it up and seeing if they'd want it to hang inside? It would look so awesome all matted and framed! #870037

Peggy Wolff October 26, 2004

Larry, this is drop dead gorgeous! I LOVE the fall colors against the blue sky. this has a very heavenly feel, like the clouds were hand painted by God...I guess they were. lol I love the way you shot this, it looks like the church is right in the sky. I agree with Janet, I would send them a proof size and see if they would like to purchase a nice large print on canvas. You could give them a deal on it and have your name and info right on the frame. I bet you would get more orders for it. #870563

Larry Lawhead October 26, 2004

Thanks Sharon, Susan, Carol, Janet and Peggy!! Guess I need to see what it looks like blown up....
