Linden United Methodist Church

On my April 18th post I presented a picture of a nice country road I came across in my travels. This time I bring you the church I was headed to. With a peaceful country setting, this is the Linden United Methodist Church in Sumter County, Florida. This one has been on my subject list for awhile and I finally got around to shooting it. The lighting was pretty nice this day and the sky was providing me with lots of clouds. I really love the architectural styling of the older churches. I walked around for a few minutes looking at the different angles trying to decide how I wanted to shoot it. The trees with the flowing moss really seemed to set it off. The sunlight reflecting off of the clouds directly over the church just added to the scene.

I hope you enjoyed viewing today’s post. Please feel free to leave any comments you might have as I really like hearing from my visitors!

The Glow of First Presbyterian Church

This is another image from Scott Kelby’s 4th annual Worldwide Photowalk. Situated in downtown Kissimmee, Florida is The First Presbyterian Church. It has the distinction of being the oldest church in Kissimmee and has been in continuous operation since it was founded in 1884. The cloudless sky lent itself to a very bright sun and highlighted the moss covered trees to the point that they were almost glowing. Capturing this in HDR was the only way to get all of the details in the scene.

Cedar Bluff United Methodist Church

On my quest to find this bridge I came across this quaint church. I was driving out some beautiful country roads just outside of Sevierville, Tennessee and had to stop and take pictures. I am a sucker for architecture and I love churches! The setting of the hills and farmland really gets to me. This was shot in March and the trees were still bare as the temperature was still pretty cold.

Thanks for looking and please feel free to leave a comment!

Shiloh United Methodist Church

This beautiful church is located in the small town of Vienna, Georgia about 60 miles south of Macon. I spotted it off in the distance while traveling north on I-75 heading to the Smoky Mountains in Tennessee. I kept going for a little bit before I decided to get off the interstate and see if I could find it. I’m glad I did! It was like stepping back in time. I just love the architectural styling of the older churches.

Middle Creek United Methodist Church

This was an amazing find. I was driving around Pigeon Forge, Tennessee looking for a specific road that I had been on before a long time ago. While I did finally find the road and what I was looking for (which will be the subject of a future post) I came across this church and had to stop. I just absolutely love the architectural style of older churches and this one did not disappoint. I shot many different angles of this scene but I felt this one portrayed it the best. I really like how the clouds were aligned and the light was just right!

Here is a link to the church website with more information about it and some of the history behind it!
