Awesome! I love old abandoned structures like that. Bet it would look great in the very early morning hours shot with a long exposure. Maybe even a little HDR action. Nice photo! - Bob :-)

Could you give me a hint where in N. Wisconsin this is, we are headed Northe in a few weeks. Please tell me it is close to Hayward?
Thanks

Near Gleason, Wisconsin.

- Hwy 51 north
- Hwy 17 north
- Right on County J
- Right on Estonian Church Road

If you do an internet search on "Estonian Church Gleason Wisconsin" you should find more info.

I shot this image at 6:45 a.m. but wish I would have arrived earlier (the sky is blown out a bit - I should have bracketed the image). In the morning, if you let the sun get too high the sun will shine towards the front of the church and cast some awful looking shadows onto the church. I was lucky, there was a bit of cloud cover preventing the sun from casting shadows. If I had to do it over again I would either arrive earlier or arrive an hour before sunset....

Hope this helps...

I just love old barns/buildings like this - you captured it very nicely!

Nice atmosphere in that photo!

No pictures of the inside then?
