Just thought you may want to see the abandoned church and graveyard from the outside. The sky looked promising that afternoon, so I climbed halfway up the mountain on an old goat path and waited for the light. The sun cleared the clouds only for a few seconds, just long enough to shoot three quick exposures with a 6x9 view camera, then it was gone. Click to view larger.
that is amazing...wow...!
ReplyDeleteTruly amazing...Beautiful
ReplyDeleteWOW! I viewed full sized and was blown away! Beautiful. It almost feels like Christmas...I can imagine a manger and shepherds...the sun looks like the guiding star.
ReplyDeleteFantastical! You have captured all the beauty and magick there is to be had of this place in this single image. Absolutely exquisite.
ReplyDeleteWell... I'm blown away again!! This is so beautiful Glen! So glad you waited for the light!
ReplyDeleteWonderful timing and luck Glen! A beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteOh wauw, we always say that our granddad (that is the kids one, who died) is painting with Gods colors and brushes. I'll bet he did here and lucky you were in the right spot at the right time.
ReplyDeleteIt's adorible Glen.
W O W !!! I thought I would echo everyone else! This is beautiful. Do you take all your photos with a 6X9? Also...is this an HDR photo?

Hi Glen thanks for looking into my blog deeper and your wonderful words about my photography. I'm sitting here with red cheeks. Thanks I feel honored if a real photographer tells me these words. Yeeehaaa.
ReplyDeleteAnd about your great grandfather coming from Wanroij.....You have got to be kidding here. No I know you're not. It's right around the corner from were I live. But do check out my cousin Joyce's blog (she's the first in my bloglist). Her mother comes from the exact same place. This is spooky, yet fun. Have you ever been in Holland? Well anyway don't wanna bother you on your blog about this. So I'll leave it too it.
Thanks anyways for being so open to me. CU Dagmar
