An abandoned old wooden church in the countryside surrounded by overgrown brush. Picher, Oklahoma is a very eerie place to visit since it was evacuated by the federal government years ago. This was a mining town for many decades. Eventually contamination from the chap piles, mines caving in under the town, and a huge tornado, made this a ghost town. Everywhere we visited, not only did it feel as though there were thousands of invisible eyes watching us, but there was also a feeling in the air that can only be described as a sort of static electricity. This beautiful old church has since been torn down due to potential hazards to visitors. Gone, but definitely not forgotten! Shot in Picher, Oklahoma. © Rob Heber - All Rights Reserved.

Great photo and description. Most of us don't explain anything about a subject. You do, and it was very interesting to read. Also it's a perfect proof how photography can preserve history. Great job!
