As we continue our extended vacation in Michigan, I am finding the usual subjects that interest me; structures, texture, and curiosities mostly. It is nice to be out and about.

That’s a really neat building and I love the look you captured in the photo.

Thanks! It is a cool building.

A church built in the Victorian manner (as opposed to manor). Delightful architecture and a fine picture.

As I was shooting this, twin fawns came hopping past me. It was surreal.

Mike I read your comment about the twin fawns coming by. If the two steeple church wasn’t curious enough!

They were just the sweetest things. I believe they would have ambled over to us if Pumpkin wasn’t on guard and staring them down.

Yes I imagine Pumpkin would have liked a game of tag with them. 🙂

Me too. Very rural, right up against lake Huron, and just soft.

Very remote in the thumb of Michigan. Lot’s of untouched natural beauty. Quiet too.

Love this photo, really nice feeling to it. It also reminds me of the what I will get to see when I head to the east coast in August. So looking forward to that.

Hi. Lot’s of great old buildings here and very beautiful. Woods, lake Huron, and open space.
Thanks.

Interesting. I wonder what the purpose was. Dueling bells?

Jeepers Lilly, I confess to be unversed on any of the possibilities. It’s a language I do not know.

It is odd to see 2 because for the older churches, it was a functional quality of bell-ringing, not just for aesthetics. Maybe they had 2 bellringers–one a right-handed, the other a left. Just a guess. 🙂
LikeLike
HA! And a darn good guess it is.

Also odd that you really have 2 main entrances. Oh, I know. It was a way of accommodating a church split.
LikeLike
Someone commented that it may have been an entrance for men, and another for women.

Hmm. I wonder.

Ignore my previous request, Mike. I took Google by the hand and found the church and nine other historic buildings at Huron City. Now, I’m burning to visit that lovely place!

Mike, I wonder if this old church had separate entrances for men and women? I know of an old local church that had separate entryways.
LikeLike
I suppose that might be a possibility but I will never know for sure. Were they allowed to sit together?
LikeLike
I think, they sat on separate sides of the sanctuary.

What a pittoresk church Mike.

That is a superb photo Mike…and it looks s pretty creepy building too. Hows the K10d going?
LikeLike
I love the K10, which also serves as a weapon if needed. I had some sorting out as to menu settings and modes but all is good now. I like it quite a bit and use a hand grip as I don’t want anything around my neck, again. The hanging in 1847 was quite enough of that, and I maintain the horse was purchased legally.

Glad you like it Mike.. my (rich) friend is a Pentax buff and has every dslr they make – he gets a new model everytime they bring one out. He says the K10d is the best and if he had to have only one it would be the K10d. You have a great camera there Mike.

Are you all enjoying Michigan?
I was out riding today and worked on a photo with you in mind. Not sure if you saw my last post or not, but I’m trying to imitate the works of my blogging buddies 🙂

Yes, Michigan is just gorgeous. Quiet, not too many people and just open beauty right up to the waters edge. Then a different kind of beauty.
How is the new bike doing. How big is the engine? What does it weigh?
LikeLike
The bike is awesome! My Softail Slim has a 103 engine and with the parts I added, probably weighs 750+ lbs. The center of gravity is so nice and low and it fits me so well, that as long as I don’t drop it, it feels light 🙂
Check out my blog today … you’re in there!

I’ve never seen a church like that. A real curiosity and the processing is so apt. Nice one, Mike.
