The first three pictures are of the church I attend it is one of the oldest established churches in Hardin County. When it was built, the timbers were all cut on site and there were brick ovens built also to make the red clay bricks for the building.. The church also sit on on of the highest hills in Hardin county, I love the beautiful pine trees in the second photo. The name Blue Ball came from the Amish that settled the area, in the mornings the haze created a blue tinge to the hillside.
I sit near the second window in the picture, the sun would not cooperate this week for me.
The last three pictures are from St. John's Church in Rineyville. There is a beautifully kept cemetery next to the church and there many old tombstones in it.
This has no particular faith involved in this one, it can be churches or icons. Mostly its for the architecture of churches,I’ve seen some beautiful old churches, stained glass,etc…. So let your mind wander and see what ya can come up with.I had fun this week I just wish I had know our challenge Easter morning. Driving to Sunrise services we passed a church that is on the East side of the road. Normally it is a unassuming church, but Easter morning they too were getting ready for services. Lights were on in the church (it sets in a field) and the sun was just giving off it's first light. The church seemed to be glowing. As we drove by I thought that is one of the prettiest things I'd ever seen.
