Toward the end, things were falling apart
This place is falling down, from the ground up.
And, to be honest, it’s also falling down from the roof down.

Another view of this church, taken on the same day, over a year and a half ago.
I just went by this place at Christmas, and it looked about the same. Maybe a few more shingles have blown away, and perhaps the building’s succumbed to gravity just a tiny bit more. But, mostly – the same.
Only this happened, and it’s not the first time: scenes that I’ve photographed always seem much smaller when I see them again. What’s with that? Also this: I shoot in color and convert to monochrome. But once I’ve converted a photo, I have very little (or no) memory of what the colors used to be.
(My mind: it’s scary in here.)

Along Highway 114 two abandoned churches face each other across an overgrown field. This is the older of the buildings; neither of them have any identifying signs.
