I love old church houses - they just are so welcoming and full of character! I got married in a church very similar to this one! Beautiful picture!

Plain but very beautiful. I like the overlay you've given to the photo, too.

In this day and age, even most of the churches are locked when no one's around. Refreshing to see one like the ones in my childhood, open, always open. Very nice image!
