Frederick, MD Church

Friday I took a break from getting this house ready for selling and went to Frederick, MD.  I have had a box of old coins that I figured we didn't need to have in the safe deposit box anymore.  A couple of years ago I took them out expecting to find out what they were worth. Well the box sat in a closet until recently along with some old jewelry. After selling the jewelry to a local jewelry store most for the melt value, the jeweler said they also buy coins but sell them to a coin store in Frederick.  I figured I would cut out the middle and go directly there.

It was a beautiful day to be out and I was sorry I didn't bring my camera.  I used my phone to take these two photos of a church I walked past.  It was the white walls against the blue sky that caught my eye.

I really like the upward angle & cropped view you captured Marcia. Great shot. Interesting to read through the plaque with the historical dates. It's always nice to be able to see a bit of history of buildings. Before I saw the plaque I thought it must've been a fairly recent building as it's so clean & well maintained. It's condition is a real credit to the Congregation.
