Here's the church that shows at the end of the village street in yesterday's post.I stumbled across this place in 2003, which is when both pictures were taken, and visited again in 2007. Tick's link had a similar shot of this church and it's sad to see it's current condition. Doors and windows are gone, and the surface material is degenerating rapidly.

In B/W treatment and the black sky, it almost looks like another planet. Too bad it's been abandoned.

The thing that goes the farthest, towards making life worthwhile, it costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

Here is the link Doug mentioned.
I really like the stark treatment you did, Doug. The Duke would be proud.

With the postwork you did this has a surreal look Doug. Nice manipulation.

This does have an other wordly look to it Doug - what a shame about letting it go - things like that should be preserved in more than just excellent photographs such as yours.

The starkness really grabbed my attention, what a shame that they are in such poor shape, I did follow Tick's link.

You do such fabulous work Doug, I agree that they didn't keep it in much better condition. It has so much history and now it's just shell.

Nice sharpness and lighting in the scene and good composition of the photo.
