A lovely church, and set off beautifully by the autumn colors.

I ran up on this fabulous place by complete mistake.  It is little church that shares the parking lot with the Valle Crucis Conference Center (http://www.highsouth.com/vallecrucis/) in Valle Crucis North Carolina.  We went there to shoot a waterfall and the parking area is where we parked.  After shooting the waterfall and on our way out, I told my wife, I have to get this.  The shot I posted is a one shot HDR.  I took the RAW file and created a +2 and -2 exposure and blended the three.

Oh here is the waterfall that is about 1/2 mile hike from the parking lot.

Pixel, this picture of the church is absolutely beautiful. I would love to go and see this place. Where is Valle Crucis in NC? What is it near?
Thank you so much for sharing this.

Wow that is beautiful!  Great verse to go with it, too.  Great sky, it compliments the church.

A reminder.  Only a couple more days to enter a photo in the latest mini challenge "I See God".  Check out what's been posted so far (CLICK HERE (http://www.christianphotographers.com/community/index.php?topic=9163.0)) and then let us know where you see God.

Where is Valle Crucis in NC? What is it near?
Google Map (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=valle+crucis+conference+center&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=32.252269,56.513672&ie=UTF8&cd=1&hq=valle+crucis+conference+center&hnear=&ll=36.193854,-81.79685&spn=0,359.993101&z=17&iwloc=A&layer=c&cbll=36.197113,-81.789914&panoid=Iq5t0YJ1efGTcnKuCjX7RQ&cbp=12,114.79,,0,-2.14)

Valle Crucis is located just outside Boone.  If you take 194 and follow it up the mountain instead of going back towards Boone it is a beautiful drive that will end up in Banner Elk.
