Vertigo58 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Just like scenes from "The Last Picture Show". Excellent! Next time I pass through I am checking out that church. The high Gothic detail is unreal. I'm tripping. Great work Mr Boris, you seem to always dazzle the audience with your meticulous pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pumapayam Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 So depressing how abandoned the place is.I was there about 10 years ago for a sleep over at the haunted theatre with my high school theatre group. It was one of those, "Guess who the killer is!" things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Issa Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Glad you all enjoyed. Have some more from Smithville and Weimar that I'll post soon. Also, want to get on over to Rosenburg, Richmond and Wharton and take some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FilioScotia Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Once again Boris, Great pictures. Thanks for taking the time to post them. I love small towns. And that church is beautiful.Schulenburg is only about an hour and a half out I-10, and there are about half a dozen of the Painted Churches within a 20 minute drive of Schulenburg and Weimar. It's well worth a day trip to see them, because they're indescribably and breathtakingly beautiful. If you know where to find them, you're free to check them out on your own, or you can go to the Schulenburg Chamber of Commerce and they'll gladly set you up with a guided tour. I recommend getting a tour because all the Painted Churches are far off the main roads in tiny farming communities that can be hard to find if you don't know your way around Fayette County. Here's a link with more photos. http://www.texasescapes.com/CentralTexasTo...hurchesTour.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jax Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I noticed that it seems really empty too. No people, and very few cars. What time did you take these pictures? Despite being empty, it looks like an interesting place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted August 22, 2007 Author Share Posted August 22, 2007 Funny, that's the exact same critizism Houston gets when photos of Houston are posted in SSP or SSC.But, these were taken a couple of weeks ago when I was driving back from SA, at about 4:00 p.m. during the middle of the week and 100 degrees. Remember guys, these are towns of just 3,000 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
