    Love this photo! I love old churches. We recently started attending a small old church: cathedral ceiling, stained glass, intricate wood carvings…the whole deal. So much prettier than the modern ugly ones churches build now. And Your words are just as beautiful, as usual.
    Cheers

    Stunning church interior-it can be anywhere in the world, can’t it (and it is!). There is something incredibly grounding and comforting about knowing that.

    Wooden kneelers and collection plates — looks like a catholic church to me! But hearing the old love story is worth the price of admission.

    The light filtering over the pews indicate that the Lord shines his light on the congregation – a beautiful church and the spirit within…

    This sanctuary looks similar to a church in our community that was built by Irish immigrants. The pews are very different, though.

    Beautiful Haiku, as always.

    What a beautiful and unusual church. The wooden benches are so lovely, with their patina and craftsmanship. And I’ve never seen a ceiling in a sanctuary painted black.

    What a beautiful photo and Haiku. Churches are such beautiful buildings, with their amazing architecture and details. Not to mention the warm inviting feeling you get when you step inside.

    A love I guess I will never share. But it’s still beautifully expressed, and old churches can be breathtakingly beautiful.
