El Beth El Sunday

I put the landscape view of The Gates Of Zion in the banner; these, I cropped for detail.

I love seeing these self-styled churches/temples, they're so unpretentious and in-your-face.

Joan Elizabeth said...: Wow ... I've never seen anything like this. Australians aren't in your face about religion. This tour is so interesting.; March 7, 2010 5:15 AM
Sharon said...: Wonderful landscape! This really captures a feeling. And I love homemade signs...; March 7, 2010 6:12 AM
Virginia said...: Love em too. What's with the writing on the left? Maybe if you're speaking in tongues and you write it down that's what it looks like.

I'm curious about that sign "Yah ..." etc too, Virg.; March 7, 2010 10:52 AM
Paula said...: I was hoping someone would notice the no smoking sign. It just cracked me up. I think the "yah" might be some kind of translation from the Hebrew. They don't use vowels so you have to guess. That's why there's so mny nms fr Gd nd Jss. Or, Google just told me, it could be this:

Paula said...: Sharon,
I don't like to change lenses so I photomerged several frames done with my 50 mm. I'm starting to enjoy it, I just have to be diligent to do enought cover shots for the final mash-up.

JE, when it comes to religion, Americans are completely hopeless, especially here in the guild-ridden South.; March 7, 2010 11:32 AM
Bibi said...: Woo, this photo is definitely worth a thousand words. First of all, the makeshift place of worship is really something, and the No Smoking sign is good advice, since it's all wood! Even down to the misspelling of 'righteousness'... Great shot.; March 7, 2010 12:11 PM
Jacob said...: Oh, for God's sake!

You've got as many nutcases as we do!; March 7, 2010 5:12 PM
Pasadena Adjacent said...: nothing I've presented thus far hits upon this level of feral; March 11, 2010 5:37 PM
Paula said...: Bibi, I offer this respectfully, I really do.

Jacob, who knows, Jesus didn't minister to the rich and famous. He was more about the underbelly of society so who knows who's right?
