Forlorn and forgotten. Great find.

What a bad state of disaray, demolition, damage

very sad!

A church building? Very sad scene, especially the piano just left like that.

This is certainly Forlorn in the truest sense. Small churches are often victims of the economy. I hope the congregation still meets somewhere else. Wonderful in B&W. V

Bevor du eine deutsche Kamera benutzt , solltest du erst lernen wie man sie richtig schreibt! Im übrigen bedanke ich mich dafür, das du meinen Kommentar gelöscht hast, damit scheine ich ins Schwarze getroffen zu haben!

Neil Marcus07-Apr-2013 23:42
It's sad when you see lost hopes, ambitions all turned to naught. i see a lot of that in the rural towns of Kansas.
Char07-Apr-2013 23:29
And it all came tumbling down. What a unique and interesting scene, Karen. Excellent black and white shot. \/
Mairéad07-Apr-2013 22:41

Very forlorn indeed. Excellent find and presentation, Karen.
Mike H.07-Apr-2013 22:37
Sometimes your images evoke the explorer vagabond in me.. Poor old church.
Can't get over how well you and that fine, old camera manage light!
laine07-Apr-2013 21:44
They even left the piano there...forlorn and sad, Karen.
Helen Betts07-Apr-2013 21:40
Such a sad state of affairs. Did this used to be a church or something? Your use of B&W is perfect for the scene. V.
Martin Lamoon07-Apr-2013 21:05
So sad to see, there must be another use for this place. v
