Fortunately I had my camera with me, and got a shot of the stately Derby United Methodist Church, snow and all, which is the oldest of the three churches that grace the historic Derby (Ct.) Green.The church was dedicated in 1837, and if you click here you'll see it originally looked more like a typical New England Congregational Church. Derby actually has two white Congregational Churches in just 5.4 square miles, and we belong to First Congregational Church, which I posted about here.
I thought I'd give the photo an old-fashioned look using sepia:
I hope this history lesson was enlightening. Short and sweet, yes?

Cette église me rappelle celle-ci qui se trouve dans notre quartier.
Je prefère celle où vous pratiquez (article d'octobre) qui paraît plus acceuillante.
beautiful in sepia!
so you watched the future and captured the past - it was a good day :)
Bonjour Catherine,
Merci pour votre commentaire. J'aime beaucoup "notre" eglise/
Dianne, Merci aussi. Yes, I watched the future and captured the past and thought about both.
