Church: 3/4 View

As you may recall, I am fond of looking around the backs of things, and that’s how I found this nice little propane tank hanging out behind the church.

Crepuscular

The clouds were particularly cooperative that night, giving me (among other gifts) these crepuscular rays in a cloud as it hovered above the Apostolic Gospel Church.

Carr’s Chapel, 1914
