Description
Three crosses stand on this hill near Crystal Hills Assembly Church in Paynesville, MN. They use these crosses as their logo. We drove by on our way home and I was intrigued enough to take a photo.
It reminds me of the song �Old Rugged Cross�. The opening words to the song are - On a hill far away stands an old rugged cross.
There were 3 crosses during the crucifixion as Jesus had a thief on each side of him when he was crucified.
Thank you for dropping in. Much appreciated.

The amazing thing about this capture is that it's both restful and beautiful, but also very solitary. Whether to a believer or not, the crucifixion, for all its crowds, was a supremely solitary event, where even light was abandoned to a lonely distant hill. And in the midst of this peaceful shot, you captured that solitary feeling as well, the crosses standing alone atop a road that seems to wind to nowhere even though it leads to the hill. Then, in an act of love, you've canopied the 3 crosses with tree-eaves which seem to envelop it all in a soft embrace. A fine piece of work pictorially and in terms of the theme you were capturing. Another fine capture from your home-area...My wishes to you all for a radiant fall, Jodie. Hope it's a beautiful one!
