Finding Sanctuary on the road less travelled

I always love to take the road less travelled. It is a way of life for me. It can be interpreted in so many different aspects and it has not failed me yet. On a recent diversion from the highway I stumbled upon the most inspirational scene. In the middle of a town no bigger than a postage stamp, in the middle of nowhere on the way to nothing was this unbelievable church. The brush had overtaken most of it, but the sun drew me in as it shone through the busted out sanctuary windows.

I didn’t fear being caught as I trampled down grass waist high to come closer to the abandoned chapel. I knew I must see inside. Small and simple from the exterior, the interior was vast and I stood in awe of the breathtakingly tall ceilings and windows.

All I could think of was resurrecting this once majestic building, to revel in its beauty, but I knew I must continue on my travels, leaving only the lovely visit in my memory.

It is unexpected journeys like this that make all the hard work and effort of taking the road less travelled worthwhile.

What a beautiful find! I want to resurrect it for an art studio. Wouldn’t it be fantastic?

Your site is beautiful! You truly have a gift. Where was the precious chapel that you photographed? I feel like it’s an orphan that needs to be adopted!

Hey Tiffany!

I’ve been thinking of you so I thought I would pay you a visit over here on the Fancy Farm…love your photos of the old church. I have been making photographs of old Southern churches since I moved to GA as I see them in my travels. One day I will have a “collection!” Your photographs are beautiful ~ sell these!

Hope you are well and had a wonderful summer. Perhaps our paths will cross again in the not to distant future.

Hugs and kisses.

Ciao bella,
Suzanne

Beautiful, serene and peaceful. I wish I could move it home and re-purpose it into a sewing/studio/store! Lovely. Just look at the craftsmanship on the ceiling alone! Amazing and artistic.

Tiffany…. you not only have a way with capturing moments behind a lens but you have a gift for words, too! You and I are on the same page with this topic… I love to wander and get inspired by what I happen upon the way. A person has to stretch themselves in order to be blessed with moments like this! So sweet… just like you! MIss you!!

Imagine what you could do with that space! When I have trouble sleeping at night I visualize certain spaces and what I would do with them living and decorating wise…this one will become one of my nighttime distractions. Awesome.
