Church at Night!
I finally managed to get a decent night time shot with my LG smartphone! This is a picture of the Federated Church in Sturbridge, Massachusetts.
I purposely tried to get the empty branches of the trees in the photo to add to the mood of this one. I think it adds almost a "spooky" feeling to the shot by emphasizing the colors in the sky. The light/dark contrast in the foreground is from the shadows of the light. I wonder who is in the building next door, are they still working in there at night or just forgot to turn off the light?
Hope you enjoy this one!
Thanks and follow @hashclouds for more!

This is a quality picture mate, and definitely has a spooky feel to it. well done.
up-voted :)
Thank you! You can't even believe all the bad night shots I had to take before I could even find one worth posting! :)
when I first saw the picture mate I thought there was a ghost in the window of the church.
I had to double take when I looked at your post.
Lol! Bats in the belfrey and ghosts in the attic? :)
I would not be surprised haha.
Do you live far from this church? when I visit my Mum's this weekend I will take a picture of that church, it really gives me the willies.
Across the road from there-there is a house that has been there many years It used to be a place for the crazy people and there is a story about the ghost that lives there called the grey lady. when I take the picture I'll write the story behind it and post it on here for all to see.
Hallam FM did a stay in the house for the night when I was a kid to see if it was haunted but didn't find anything
Aren't you in England? This is in the USA. Really strange though as the Publick House is across the street and that is supposed to be haunted. Also across the street is a very old cemetary. This church had burned to the ground after being struck by lightening. When it was rebuilt, they combined three churches together. Maybe I should do a story? :)
I am in the UK yes, Between Sheffield and Chesterfield. I looked at your blog page and seen that you're in the USA but that does not matter we can still be Steem buddies.
Maybe we could do the stories and see how similar they are to each other. if we try and post them at the same time so other steemians can see it and link each story together to get more traction to the posts.
Regardless of religion, that's quite the vivid picture!
Sounds like a great idea! We should definitely be steem buddies! I was just pointing out the distance because of the location of the church. Twilight zone anyone? Lol!
Thank you!
I just followed you, I need to see this.
I had to work tonight so I didn't get chance to go over to my mums for the picture. but i will try and get across tomorrow to do it. so if we maybe plan on doing the story for thursday would that be cool with you?
how you doing @hashclouds?
I have been tonight to get the photos of the church I will post this in a bit for you to look at.
I also went and got the picture of the house that is meant to be haunted to so do you want to do that post for say some time this week? maybe like Tuesday? see the simualaritys ?? cheers steembuddy. :)
I can try! Things have been very busy lately! We had a second nor'easter and are expecting another one on Tuesday. I would have to take some more pics and do a bunch of research first.
Ok that's fine mate, I have another steemian who wants in on this too, I have just told her tuesday but can change it with her. there maybe another on who wants in on it too, I think more the merrier.
lol hope thing get less busy for you.
