Friday Shootout: Places of Worship

Yesterday I had the good fortune of finishing up early at work. One of the ladies I was training mentioned a great place to see in the area. I love recommendations so I pointed the rented Ford Focus toward Rome and was delighted to be able to shoot a couple of rounds with my P&S (Point and Shoot). Berry College in Rome Georgia, founded by Martha Berry, on 26,000 acres, home to a few thousand deer (I saw packs of them roaming the campus at twilight) was a gem. I drove through a vast forest, walked around the campus and marveled at the beauty of the setting sun, against 100 year old buildings framed by blue skies and autumn colored leaves. Inspirational.

I chose one of the three chapels as my subject for today.

Friday Shootout theme was chosen by Rebecca. Come by and visit the official FSO page to see what others posted.
