Westover Church

Black And White Photography, Laurie, Photography

Westover Church in Charles City County, Virginia was built in 1731, but was destroyed during the Civil War when Federal Troops used it as a stable. The troops also removed most of the gravestones in the cemetery for use as tent floors, which is why no pre-Civil War gravestones exist today. The church was restored to service in 1867 and has been in use ever since.

Stalking the rolling hills of northeast Ashe Country, North Carolina, I found this cool light about 30 minutes before sunset. I suspect the lines were plowed into the hillside for crops before it was later fenced off to keep cows. For the best viewing experience, click to view a high resolution version of the composition.
