Photo Hunt - Steps....

I flashed back to a trip I made and memories of a visit with someone who was a friend but our steps we've taken in life now have us far apart in more than distance. As I had the chance to walk up the steps of the Church in this ghost town in California, I could not help think of the past, and what those early settlers went thru to build and survive during those times. At times we take for granted what we have now and we forget the many steps our forefathers took to get us to where we are now...

I love old historical buildings, and like you wonder about the people, and their lives so long ago. Great choice for the theme. Happy photo hunting!

What an awesome church! It almost looks like the one used in November Rain music video.

An awesome shot baby, I knew that shot would come into play eventually.

The church looks sad, isolated. But it's a great picture!
