It just hurts my soul when I see wonderful works such as these public places going to ruin- it just doesn't seem right! Very haunting, well done. What's the story?

Yeah, im sure it was beautiful in its prime. It was built in 1926 and had a large congregation but then numbers shrank and the church moved leaving the building. It was then used for a number of other things until it was eventually left to decay. Its open to anyone to just walk in now.

It's as if you can hear something far away..... Nice shot! Have you been there at night?

Thanks. No, I have only been there the one time but want to go back. Don't know about at night though... its in a run down sketchy part of town.

Great find. Really captures the imagination.

Very nice.

Voted! :) If you like any of mine, pls vote for it:
