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! #9667398Renata Gusciora September 12, 2011

They have a similar church with outhouse in the Texas Hill Country but they leave it open during the day. Love your perspective David #9669550Heather Loewenhardt September 13, 2011
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. #9670124Lorna Shutter September 14, 2011
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! :) #9671564Marilyn K. Lincecum September 15, 2011
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. #9673153David Phalen September 20, 2011
