this or that thursday: grace episcopal church

St. Francisville is a beautiful small town north of Baton Rouge with many interesting, historic homes and buildings. My favorite is Grace Episcopal Church. The grounds and cemetery are nestled amongst many moss-covered live oaks. Last weekend, we enjoyed walking around for a bit and I, of course, enjoyed taking some photos.

 This first one was with my iphone. You can't beat it for a wide view.

The rest were taken with my dslr.

    Those trees are so amazing! We don't have mossy trees like that up here, probably not humid enough!

    So beautiful! It reminds me of a church in downtown that I love to visit but you know I've never photographed! I think I need to do that!

    Deb,
    I was so surprised to open your blog and see pictures of Grace Church.
    I also live in Baton Rouge and have been to Grace Church several times and have
    captured several beautiful images there. After work I will be exploring your
    website to see where you have been : ).

    What a beautiful church and I just love the moss growing on the trees! Something that you don't see up in my area. I love walking through old cemeteries, they are full of so much history.

    Beautiful old church and cemetery. I love the Spanish moss hanging from the trees and the old, ornate wrought iron fence surrounding one area of old tombstones.

    I just adore old churches. And isn't it crazy the great pics our phones can take? I know I've said it before but it still floors me sometimes...

      I really do love it. You can't beat it for macros. It's nice for portraits too as long as your subject is relatively still. It's slow to focus.
