By now many of you who read this and follow me on other sites must know that I am in love with Autumn! Sometimes I think my name should have been Autumn… but that’s a whole ‘nother story!
When planning my travels or creating guides for others I find it super important and interesting to visit historic places, but maybe I am not normal…
Buildings help add to our understanding of time, place and give us a physical feeling sometimes transporting us — similar to Marty McFly’s DeLorean, we can go backwards to another era and if we are very quiet sometimes be in that era. It is that exploration that adds to my New England travels and even though our physical history isn’t as deep as say Old England-we still have these buildings that dot the landscape.
Churches in the early days of New England were more than places of worship, they were basically community centers, gathering places for events, of all kinds, happiness, sadness and struggles. Sometimes I think we forget that these structures were not just to worship or aligned to one religion or faith but in many cases were multi purpose and as such were very sparse, simple structures compared to some of Europe’s mighty cathedrals.
As a photographer the white steeples poking thru brilliant fall trees of red, orange and yellows is striking and often a quest. When you start driving thru New England you will notice a lot of power lines, and yes we have photoshop but do we want to spend time behind our computer or out photographing?
Today besides encouraging you to look for those white steeples to add to your Fall Photos I want to point out a wonderful little church is in need of our help—New Hampshire- this little white church– please follow the link and help save this Classic New England view!
Apparently the steeple was damaged and is seeking funds to replace it–
