little old country church

Published Jul. 5, 2009

Saw this beautiful church in Wise, N.C. the other day and though the song doesn't really go along with the scene, it does kiind of remind me of the place. And it's hard to hard not to tap your feet on a Sunday morning when you're listening to the Stanley Brothers. ;)

Did get a few looks from the locals when I dismounted the bike and walked about taking pictures. You would think everyone that passes thru that little crossroads would be unable to drive by without stopping to take some pictures. But then again maybe it's such a common thing that they just wonder who is the latest shutterbug to stop and take away memories of their beautiful church.

This is on Highway One near the Virginia line, in Warren County.

My husband was in Wise Saturday for a car show. How coinky dink!

We were there this past week and I saw that exact same church! I thought, "How pretty!" I'm glad you took the picture!

Were you there for the 4th of July Parade in Wise? We stay at Lake Gaston in a little cove (on Smith Creek) called Friendly Acres. That is where I've been all week. We've had to make the trek into Wise a couple of times for groceries and such. Each time I pass that church, I love just looking at it. But it has never occured to me to take a picture!

You really captured the beauty with the blue sky and clouds, as well as the greenery! Thank you for sharing!!

Great pic! And great song choice to go along with it! There is a pretty white church sitting off the road, up on a hill, out in the country on Hwy 49 in Cedar Grove. Every time I ride by there, (a couple of times a week) I HAVE to slow down and enjoy the beauty of that church. Just seeing it, sends a calming sensation over my soul. I must admit, that I am disapointed that they have just started adding on to the church. While progress and growth of a church is a good thing, I fear that the beauty of the church may never be the same. If you're ever out that way Ol Reb, be sure and slow down, and take in the beauty of Carr United Methodist Church.

This is a beautiful church and I am very familiar with the area. Thank you for sharing the photograph.

You guys are far too generous with your compliments, but I do appreciate them. :) I simply love to take pix of what I see and share them with others. And there's so much to see here in North Carolina. Have a great afternoon, and hope for some rain. My poor 'mater plants and pepper plants are looking terrible. Even with constant watering.

I agree. But not just the churches...I love the photos of the old country stores, too.

"The REAL America, Thru the Lens of OldReb"

I'd buy it!

OK Old Rebel,

Since we have the "Nomination Seconded" and a few comments bolstering my suggestion.... I'll only take 5% of the gross revenue from the sales after publication.

What do you think?

Do we have an accord? (I love that term... from Pirates of the Caribbean)

We can call our new venture "REBEL-TRAB,Inc. LLC"

LMAO!

Beautiful pic. and what Bartman said...I'm thinking Early Retirement for you!

Lovely church picture!You have quite an advantage traveling around on your motorcycle!You do beautiful work,OR

I totally agree with Bart @ your book. I luv old churches. My bro got married in an old Baptist church in downtown Raleigh. It was built by whalers, and the inside reflects that boat look.
