Compton Praise Temple
This church is next door to the old country store we pictured last week (see here) in the small northern Shenandoah Valley community of Compton, Virginia. Until recently the church and store were on the edge of Route 340 but the road has been rebuilt a couple of hundred feed to the west and the old roadbed now serves as the driveway to the church. Services are still held in here.

Train Station
The last steam powered passenger train stopped in Luray in 1952. The depot was used for freight service until 1980 when it was no longer needed by the railroad and used only for storage. Purchased by the Town of Luray, the station has been restored and now houses the Luray-Page County Chamber of Commerce.
The brick station was built in 1906 to replace an 1880 wooden station that was destroyed by fire.
Have a pleasant weekend, and thanks for reading Photography In Place.

March snows
March snow is not unusual in central Virginia, but this March was the snowiest I can remember.
Last week's snow is gone. On the edge of the woods, a faint red blush of new buds is starting to appear. Daffodils are up and in the front yard an advance party of wild onions is scattered about in the brown grass.
I look forward to sunshine and the smell wild onions when I mow for the first time. It has been a long winter.
