Third Sunday - September 2013

Louisa County, Virginia 

St. John's Church - 1844

St. John's Church, Green Springs Parish, is a particularly well preserved and little altered example of the Jeffersonian Classical Revival style. The builder, James Magruder, probably worked under Thomas Jefferson's master builders at the University of Virginia and reflects Jefferson's architectural ideas.

In 1888, St. John's Chapel (see here) was built in the eastern part of Green Springs Parish to accommodate parishioners for whom St. John's Church was too far away to attend regularly.

Stone Comfort

Vicksburg, Mississippi

In April of this year I spent several days photographing in the Cedar Hill Cemetery in Vicksburg, Mississippi. The cemetery dates from the early years of the 19th century and is one of the oldest continuously operating cemeteries in the country.

Wooded path

On a foggy morning
we walk along a wooded path
into trees made strange by mist.

Fog withholds our future,
and swallows up our past.
Somewhere ahead, cows low and clang.

We stop to listen.
In the dampness a drop of fog
slips down the neck of your blouse.

Stay close, you whisper.
