Starry Day
Well, even though there was a gate across the entrance to the church, that certainly didn’t keep me from sticking the camera through it to get a shot.

Gated Entrance
Seriously, Cyril and Methodius? A gate? With a lock? Fine, then. I’ll just amuse myself with some micro-composition over there on the right side of the photo.

The Bench Project
All of these painted churches had large grounds beside them, with an additional building or two to support the annual feasts or whatever other activities go on.
There were a couple of people inside the church who’d come there with a guide. I didn’t listen to much the guide had to say, but I did hear her say that the church’s 2017 feast – which usually attracts four or five thousand people* – was cancelled because the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey created some concerns about food safety.
Anyway, I liked the benches and bench project and that one folding chair. And the pile of leaves.

*In 2000, the population of the town was 116. To put things into a bit of perspective.

I am nearly done with the color images, but this one needed color to tell its story. That red light on the floor reminded me of DNA.
