Fortuitous sidetrip

A few years ago Jilda and I were roaming down an Alabama backroads on our way to Mississippi when we took a wrong turn.

A few miles later we realized we were seeing none of the landmarks her sister had scribbled on the back of a brown paper sack and decided to make a U-turn. Looking for a wide place in the road to pull off, we came upon an old Methodist Church in Giger, Alabama.

I soon realized that the sidetrack was advantageous and pulled off the road to snap a picture. The structure wasn't fancy, but beautiful in a simple way and it looked like it had painted windows.

I love it when the Universe wants to show you something.

  1. Yes, YES! Thanks for a beautiful picture. I make a lot of wrong turns. It is good when something like this happens, then I am not so upset at myself.
    I am glad you can KNOW to STOP and take the shot. I am always saying, I should have got a picture of that.
    Stay cool...

  4. They do say there are really no accidents in life and every thing happens for a reason. It is a beautiful church. Simple is sometimes best.
