Description

It was a Sunday morning but all was quiet...no one was praying, no choirs singing. Suddenly, a huge burst of wind had leaves dancing and spinning about in front of the church. It almost had me dancing on the ground for a few seconds...It's a beautiful church but sadly, what was once a haven for the fallen is now fallen into disrepair a bit.

This picturesque scene is the Presbyterian Church of the Springs, a historic building on the Barium Springs Children's Home Campus in Statesville North Carolina.

You can't see it but there is a for sale sign on the street, which I suspect has been there for a few years. I won't despair yet, there is always hope and a haven for the fallen.

I've given this multiple textures and layers adding an illustrative pictorial effect to the original photo.
