Description

I've recently been invited to join some friends at Quaker Meetings. It has been one of the most rewarding things I've done for myself. I asked permission to do some photography on the grounds outside. Not only was permission granted but an invitation to photograph indoors. This building to the right is the original meeting house and was built in the 1700's. I wish I could express in words the most profound sense of peace that I have felt inside those walls. This is the newer entrance, I love how the trees bend with open arms ever so gracefully over the entrance. Much in the same way it is inside, the exact same way you are greeted. There is a cemetary that surrounds the grounds (yes I know I have a thing for cemetary's)I will post a few of my favorites. Thank you so much for your comments and support. None of the pics have post work.
