"The Old Country Church"

Photo courtesy of Renaude Hatsedakis.               (Click on the photo for a larger view) One of my favorite hymns is titled "The Old Country Church", and the weathered old church building featured in today's picture matches the spirit of that beautiful song as closely as any I have ever seen. Photographer Renaude Hatsedakis discovered this beautiful church somewhere in rural Washington State, and thanks to the wonderful worlds of photography and the Internet he was able to share it with us today. Here are the camera and settings used to capture this image: Camera: Fuji FinePix S7000 Focal length: 15mm Shutter speed: 1/550 second Aperture: f/8 ISO: 160   Visitor Comments...
