Day 172 - The Old Bethlehem Baptist Church (1837)

Well this morning I had to go into New Jersey to have a root canal done.  What fun that was.  So on my way back home I stopped back to the Bethlehem Baptist Church.  This Church was built in 1837 and the congregation abandoned the church in 1903.  It is amazing that it is still standing, but as I walk by I did noticed that more of the walls are starting to crumble, so it may not be standing much longer.

Anyway I was hoping to capture the beauty of this old church as well as devastation that time has done to the church.  So I did 3 types of processing.  Some infa-red, HDR, then Daguerrotype processing.

All images are taken with the EOS-M w/ EF-M 22mm f/2 STM @ f/3.5
