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.

WOW, that is a beautiful church

What a beautiful church. Looks like something that you would see in Ireland or Scottland beside and old castle.

LOL... now there's a locale I haven't passed through in a long, long, time! Lovely part of the world up there. Hope that there are still some roads where the trees have grown so as to create a canopy effect over them.

Good morning Don, Grumpy and Lolly. :)

I hope you all had a wonderful Fourth! Don, that's a beautiful church!!!

Oops...we must have been typing at the same time, Kid. Good morning to you as well. :)

Great picture, you can make a pretty good living building churches in these parts.

That is pretty and does remind me of a castle.

awsome !

Beautiful!

Beth
