This week's photo is another of the photos I adjusted in Photoshop for use in our church's lyric projection for the praise songs. This barn is located on a hill to the side of Route 29 in Nelson County, Virginia. Everytime I passed this barn I was struck with its beauty, especially against the mountains in the background.
Finally, one day I drove to the side of the road, pulled out my camera and took this photograph. I took the photo in black & white but placed our church's logo on the side of the barn in Photoshop.
Lovely picture, Richard. I love that area of the country. I earned my graduate degree from Liberty and always enjoyed going to classes there, no matter the season! It was always beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBTW, while my sons attended PCC, they teased me about attending "Liberal U." LOL
I noticed somewhere that you had attended Liberty. I think it might have been on your profile. When were you here?
ReplyDeleteWe were from the Northern Virginia/Washington, DC, suburbs but had to drive to Lynchburg once each week beginning about two years ago. We fell in love with the area and God led us to an outstanding church so we ended up moving here permanently. It really is a wonderful place.
I attended classes at Liberty beginning in 2002 and was last there in the summer of 2006. My husband and I usually brought our RV and camped at Paradise Lake between Lynchburg and Appomatix for my week long classes. If I had thought I could have found a good job there, we would have moved there. As it is, we now live in east TN near the Smokies and love it.
ReplyDeleteWow - what a small world. We began coming to Lynchburg in February 2006. We attend Old Forest Road Baptist Church. Our pastor is Mike O'Brien, who was an associate dean of men at Liberty until last year and still teaches Greek there.
ReplyDeleteMy wife was born and raised in Greeneville, Tennessee, about halfway between Johnson City and Knoxville. That is a beautiful area of the country and the people there are wonderful too. I tried to get a job in Greeneville about 15 years ago and almost had it (at Phillips Magnavox) when they put in a hiring freeze and were not able to extend the offer to me. We love it there too.
Yes, there's just something about the Appalachians (of course, I'm orginally a coal miner's daughter from KY LOL).
ReplyDeleteI love the Greenville area. It is beautiful there also. Knoxville seems just right for us and we are very grateful God brought us here.
