Crossroads

These mailboxes are near the end of Freetown Road.

The moon was real pretty the other day. This was shot in early morning from the levee over in Louisiana.

Here are a few photos that I thought you would enjoy today. I love the shot of the maiboxes. I just can't tell you why. No, it's not that it is a secret. I just can't articulate it. It's just a neat picture to me. 'Nuff said.

I would have loved to have gone into the Hermanville church. It was quite a surprise to stumble upon it while out traipsing in Claiborne County recently. A gem of a church! I would have taken more photos, but a German Shepherd and another big dog from across the street had other ideas.

Y'all have a great weekend, everybody. I hope you grab your camera and go capture some of God's Glory that is all around us. That's what I am going to do!

The Church on Freetown Road

If you want to pique my interest, just sit near me at a ballgame and talk about visiting a "haunted" church. That got my attention a couple of weeks ago! Apparently, it's a place that teenagers go to for a good scare. Anyway, I got directions to the church and it is pretty much at the end of Freetown Road in Warren County. It's an unusual church in that it seems to be sitting sideways on the property. There is no door facing the road. The two doors that do exist are on the back. One is visible in the top photo and the other is obscured by brush and trees on the other end. All the windows are gone, but pews, the pulpit and piano are still inside. The floors are rotting on about half the building and I had to make sure I walked on the crossbeams to get a couple of these shots. There is a cemetery out back with about a dozen graves, all pretty much placed there in the last few decades. No sign is visible to tell what church it is.

My mama didn't raise a fool, so I can't tell you whether it is haunted or not. I visited in the daytime and have no inclination to go back at night. But the place would suit the purposes just right. And that hum you hear when you get close to the church? No, it's probably not a ghost, but thousands of bees that have a beehive in the wall at the front entrance of the church.
