This is a picture I made on a wonderful fall afternoon. I took about a 20 mile drive from my home through the hills to this beautiful country church. The Pleasant Ridge Church is always a wonderful place to visit and I love the quiet and peaceful feel it always seems to have...and especially on a fall afternoon like this one was. Thanks for looking. Larger version included.

Very appropriate name for a "pleasant" setting; very nice fall colors...I might crop some off the left side..all-in-all a very nice scene.

This does look peaceful and very seasonal. The colors and light are just wonderful. At first I didn't especially enjoy the empty picnic table, but it does go along with the fall flavor. I might consider cloning out the gate right behind it, though. Or burning it down. It doesn't add anything and catches my eye.

You captured the feeling of the place very well in this image. I can feel the coolness of a fall afternoon and hear the leaves crunch under my feet.

Thanks Reno and Kathy! Very much appreciate your comments and suggestions.
Kathy, I thought about the gate after I posted this as well. I already did a version with it cloned out and will include it here. 
I do like the picnic table.

Beautiful peaceful and tranquil rural scene. I might be tempted to clone out the chain link fence (oops, just saw the repost - excellent!).  Great colors too. This turned out great!

Thanks Richard and Harley! I'm glad you guys like it. It sure is a nice place to stop by and make a couple of pictures. So nice to sit at that table and enjoy a hot coffee on a beautiful autumn day. cool Nick

The repost without the gate is the clear winner for me, Nick. This just has a lovely feel to it with the autumn season and the picnic table. Beautifully done.

Nick, your image conveys the atmosphere immediately to me, especially the repost. I just think of a crop from the left in order to place the church according to the rule of thirds. Anyway, I enjoy this scene a lot!
