I first saw a photograph of the inside of Young's Chapel on Flickr several years ago and I knew that I had to visit. The chapel had not been used since 1974 but an old piano was still present. The photo I saw was just perfect and I had to see if I could capture the image. I have visited the chapel on 2 occasions and the last visit resulted in the images presented here. Young's Chapel started in a brush arbor (a shelter made of branches or vines) in 1875. Construction of the church building was on site of the brush arbor but was moved approximately 3 miles to the present site near Rebecca, Georgia about 3 years later. The church closed in 1974 when the Methodist congregation became too small to support it. The land was donated to the church by John Thomas Young. Sadly, I read recently that the church had suffered considerable vandalism.

I love this! You composed this photo beautifully. Just wondering, did you use a special lens or something? It just feels like the piano is actually jumping out of these screen, as though I'm there with it.

Hi Gabi,
Thanks for the nice comment. I used a wide angle lens (Canon 10-22mm). I think it is probably the angle and the lighting that gives the effect that you see and not the lens. You have some nice photos.....quite creative.

Here's the comment I posted on Facebook, along with your photo - "I love photos that tell a story. This photo is called Young's Chapel 2. I did not take this photo, but I wish I had!"
