Description
A quaint white church is flanked by two symmetrical trees under a dramatic sky. The tranquility of the scene is emphasized by the soft lighting and the church's simple architecture.
Ansel Adams commented on his famous, "Church and Road, Bodega, California c. 1953", from his book "Examples: The Making of 40 Photographs", that churches of simple architecture lend themselves to worship better than "shopping center" style structures of metal with a facade, or large imposing brick buildings with no spiritual center. I think so too.
I do not know the age of this building but it has been at this location as long as I can recall. I could have tried to substitute gravel for the asphalt parking lot, to make it appear more "country" than it is, through the use of generative AI tools in Photoshop. However, that would have been a lie in stark contradiction to the actual place and its purpose. I used normal editing adjustments with discretion, instead.
