This was a first: in all my times I’ve looked inside an abandoned church, this was the first time I spotted a collapsed baptistry. That’s why I will continue to look inside as many abandoned buildings as I can: because you just never know when you’ll see something new.

Also, this is the place where a pair of dogs came up behind me, suddenly, causing me to have my regular reaction when unknown dogs get close to me: I always assume they are there because they want to eat my leg(s). So far, I’ve been wrong every time and I hope to never be right.
