A wonderful contrast between the past, represented by the antiquated church, and the present, with the modern roadway nearly running through this former place of worship.

The piece creates a compelling sense of intrigue, as though there is a fascinating story to be told by these crumbling walls.

From a purely artistic point of view, the use of lines brilliantly compliments the focal point ... the antique church building. The trees, the hedges and the road work in concert to create a frame and to lead the eyes toward the church.

For good measure, even the leaning pillars at the head of the walkway leading up to the church further enhance the feeling that you've stumbled upon a piece of history.
