It is now a National Historic Landmark. Photo taken mid morning on a cloudy day, just a few minutes before rain settled in. Handheld, 1/180 sec, f-4.7. Digital Darkroom in Photoshop Elements: Crop, levels, resize, unsharp mask.

Gorgeous shot, Larry!!! Looks like you walked a ways to get that one! Beautiful colors and composition! #869417Carol Brill October 25, 2004
What splendid soft colors and light you captured with such clarity and detail in this beautifully composed image, Larry! #869671Janet 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! #870037Peggy 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
