A little history again from my town. General George Washington attended this church whenever he was in the area. It’s about a ten minute drive from my little home in the woods.

Things I’m Thankful to Cliff For… Teaching our dog how to eat green beans from a fork.
I wonder if the original inhabitants came from Oxfordshire, as Abingdon is in that county. Nice series.
My favourite shot by far is the 2nd image. now that to me is a stonking stonking shot.
Suby
I love the 2nd shot very much. WOW, the DOF is really very nice. Good Work and well done.
That's interesting, in my hometown the classical composer "Bach" worked for several years and "Goethe" was also there for many years and wrote his "Faust". :-)
Excpet the 2nd one : just OK.
There is no history like that where I live. When things get old they tear them down. Not so much in the larger cities but diffently where I am.
I like these views into the history of a place. I particularly like the second image, very well done.
Nice series, love the 2nd (very crisp and nice dof) and the 4th(shadows ofcourse!) image.
That looks like a magnificent tree to climb on, though i'm not sure if climbing a tree in the jurisdiction of the church is forbidden. :p
What an interesting tree. The photo almost looks like a painting. Lovely use of shape.
My goodness, that oak is OLD! Love getting a sense of your town. Looks like the Anglicans arrived early.
A nice series . I like the strong trunk. It kept the memory of the past time...
#2 is an exceptional image but there is history running thru all four. All 350 years of it. I wonder if that tree was there from the start . . .
Great history stuff!
Must be alot of good vibes going on around there.

i like the old typeface on the sign...also the big tree wt nice contrast of light and shadow:-)) lovely capture!
Nice post Micki..Love the second image!
Neat info!! Love to read the history about a shot. good job.
As always, nice series. 2nd one is great.
hay Micki, your place is really old... you have real history too... but when i saw Abingdon, I thought you had been visiting the UK. Abingdon is about an hours drive away from me...
Great shots of the place...
As always, a treat to see more views of your photo turf - the tree in the last shot is quite photogenic. I'm imagining a similar shot in b/w - the light possibilities! You simply must revisit that tree...
I believe somewhere buried deep in my archive of slides I have pictures taken of this church in the mid 1970's! I recall a trip up the middle neck one summer where we stopped at virtually every roadside historic marker (there sure are lots of them in Virginia).
I also like the second shot best in this series. I do love to "visit" your town.
the tree looks huge, is it very old?
