Small town church

The Thursday Challenge this week is "Your Country". I am from the southern USA, was born in a small town where little churches like this seem to dot the landscape and often are quite picturesque. This one is in a small town near us called College Grove.

PS Check back ina week or two as I will have the film from my Leica M6/voightlander 12mm developed, I think I may have a better shot on that roll.

Yes, the Church has always been a big part of American History. Our nation was founded on God. Excellent entry!

Perfect light and exposure. Wonderful. You're right about the common nature of this sighting. That's a good thing.

Really nice compo and colours. And you're right - it definitely says USA to me.

Beautiful church in what looks like a beautiful setting!

Iconic, well done.

You're right, Harrison. When I first moved to the US, and lived in NC in the mountains, it seemed there was a little white church at every corner (and a Starbucks on the other). Nice shot.

Very nice! Remind us on PBase of the Leica M6/voightlander 12mm because I will very likely forget! :-)
