Hi, I'm Rick also known as Mr. C. I used to shoot with a Canon SLR, but that was a long while back. I got a new camera, an Olympus SP-510UZ on 11/06/06. I've added a Nikon D90 with a 55-200 lens to my camera bag in 2010. I'll get a camphone if Almont ever enters the 21st century.

I'm now shooting with a brand new Nikon D90 with a 55-200mm VR lens.

Sims used to be a little town about 3 miles from Almont. I've always liked this small church.

Wow! Thanks for the highlight!

Thank you very much, D.! Only 10 minutes into the golden hour. I've always liked that church, but I didn't have a camera before. :)
It was built circa 1890, maybe earlier, as is still lovingly maintained, with a dedicated congregation. (I see them on my way home from work on Sunday morning.)

Beautiful, beautiful, lighting and colour. Are you *sure* that church is real?

Only joking, it's just so well lit it's practically cinematic.

If it isn't, I have one heck of an imagination! It's very "North Dakota". Thanks!

Well worth a highlight. In my mind, this is where the folks from American Gothic (the painting) go to church....

Hahahaha! Too right. Darn, I'm going to have to remember to start carrying a pitchfork. Thanks! :)

Pffffffft. You've been blogging a week and got a HL? I should be jealous. I'm really, really chuffed. And proud. Great shots. I'll see you this afternoon. :)

I hope that church makes it another 100 years. Around here, it probably will too. Thanks!
