I would have been fascinated by those trains as a child. I find that church to be a very interesting and intriguing shape, guessing there may have been a porch under that overhang?
Some really interesting shots, they tell a great story of a bygone age, don't they?
We do a lot of 'treasure trails' around the area where we live and churches and graveyards feature heavily in them, as they are such great places for clues. Some of the inscriptions are so revealing about families and a way of life long gone.
So true. I spent a lot of time in that graveyard and another tiny one across the road. Families, children who died so young sometimes..all so very interesting.
The first one is very inviting as hot as it's been. The pictures of the trains make me miss my uncle. He's an engineer in Germany and as long as I can remember he's been sitting in a locomotive.
Great pictures, all of them. I'm partial to the old trains and gravestones, I actually tried to zoom in to read a name or two. :) The trains remind me of childhood when I used to go visit relatives in the country and I spent about 11 hours (that's how long the trip was) gazing out the window and daydreaming. Ah, memories....
I love the photos of the old trains!

ReplyDeleteLove the vintage trains. So, that's where old trains go when they retire.
ReplyDeleteThe church looks interesting too. I have not seen a church like that before.
