This church in Lunenburg has a long and amazing history. The original was built in the 1750s and stood until a terrible fire just a few years ago. It was rebuilt with such care that it looks just like it did before the fire.

What a gorgeous church love the distance between it and the camera and the people walking towards it! Really nice! I would love to see a close up - I bet there is tons of intricate details on it!
ReplyDeleteBoy did you snap a masterpiece there Debbie!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful, what an amazing building. From the images I've been seeing from Lunenburg I'm starting to think it's the model for Brigadoon.
ReplyDeleteI remember the fire but don't think I've seen photos since the restoration. What a fabulous building! Glad you shared it with us...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful church -- beautiful photo...
ReplyDeleteD.
ReplyDeleteShooting St. John's should be an easy job but it isn't due to hydro lines, trees, lamp post and a lonely bell, but you nailed it! I do love how you framed it so the path leads into the main image and then placing J. and R. walking into the image was very good. Well done!
P.S. are the two guys off seeking absolution?
Stunning image. Thanks for the explanation of the fire. I think it is wonderful that the church was rebuilt just as it was.
