Thanks Jim.  After shooting that I headed down the road (south) and
looked back and thought I might try a shot from the other side.  By the
time I had turned around and got in place to set something up, the light
faded.  

I've shot this church many times and actually wasn't going to waste
digits on another version, but I figured they're just digits!  I think I
also shot some Portra there too.  Across the road from the church is a
farmhouse.  There are always dogs there and they always bark at me. 
Always makes me feel like an intruder or thief. Actually, one time I was
photographing in the graveyard and one of the parishioners asked what I
was doing.  The church seems to have been built by Germans and/or Czech
farmers in the area.  The parishioner warmed up to me when he found out
my affection for the church.  He told me that they had just recently
replaced the roof.  I could tell it must have cost a lot from his
expression of pain.  A church like that is expensive to maintain and
could be a real burden. Someday I'll see if I can get in an leave a few
bucks. It's going to be a matter a getting a Round Tuit.

Thanks again for looking and commenting, Jim.
