Yes, wallpaper!!

Thank God the stained glass is intact, I certainly hope they take measures to protect it and possibly remove if needed and re-use elsewhere.

Thanks Mr. Motts! You have done a superb job, as usual! :) I eagerly await your next masterpiece.

Can you imagine sitting in one of those pews (when the place was in better condition of course!)...you would feel SO tiny and insignificant with all that grandness around you. Wow.

So much decay. :(

I think I like this shot the best! Thank you for a fine gallery and brightening my day!

At first I thought this was the back of a clock face, but churches don't usually have clocks. Really nice though anyway.

Even though I hate heights, I'm afraid I would have had to climb up there!

Beyond the beyond. . . love it!

If those walls could talk. I wonder who was the first to sit in that pew. I wonder who was the last. How many weddings were held here? How many funerals? How many christenings? What was the first song sung by the choir? What was the last? Many, many stories unfolded amongst these peeling and fading walls.

I'll probably be struck by lightning for saying this but those angels look like drag queens!

I would love to buy an old church to rehab as a residence, but they must be a bitch to heat!

HOLY CROW! That's making me head spin! Fantastic how it gives you a sense of smallness but I wonder how in God's name did they wash those windows or paint the ceiling?!

I always liked the back areas of a church, with the narrow stairways and passages, and small rooms tucked away behind something else. It always made me feel like I was in another time for some reason.

ashes to ashes, dust to dust, it's a shame this "House of the Lord" is rotting away.
