For those of you who are new to my blog, I strong encourage you to go to the main page of my website and click the “photography” link on the left side. There, you’ll find lots of pictures – mostly of abandoned buildings and odd things, but hidden in there are pictures of Flimsy and I.

Recently, we visited another abandoned church. This church is especially interesting because the roof has caved in and all that is left is the stone shell. There is a mostly intact social center attached to it, and people continue to worship in the social center on Sundays. Last summer in the sweltering heat we drove by on a Sunday, and we could hear the preacher belting it out from the street. Looking through the broken windows we saw unbalanced fans on high, and could smell a faint scent of sweat.

 
There are trees growing up through the floor and collapsed roof, reaching to the open sky – naturalistic congregants. 
 
Bits of weather beaten windows with intact stained glass panels lay scattered among the leaves.
  
Here, you can see an unsteady ground created by the collapsed roof. When we walked over it, we could hear echoes of bits of the roof falling into the empty space below.
Flimsy is looking on…
 
You can see the rest by going here, and you can also see the entirety of what I have published online here.
