Here in the south it seems you can’t go a block without passing a church. Or a billboard extolling the virtues of reading the bible. The road to Charleston even has this exact road sign (although there are no shoulders to pull off on, so I had to swipe this photo from Google images). For some reason, the fact that there is a sign alerting drivers to an upcoming church cracks me up. Why didn’t the 50 previous churches rate a sign?Anyways, I’m sure y’all have figured out by now that I’m not exactly the most religious of persons. But for some reason I love taking pictures of churches. Go figure.

Jill, it’s wonderful to be able to continue our travels through your eyes. Thanks for the wonderful photos! Have fun! Barb Cabot
Jill – it looks like we should have stayed longer in Savannah – we are missing so much of the south! I guess that we have a good reason to return.
Like you, I often take pics of churches. In fact, I am fascinated by them but I am also NOT a religious person!
Well, this determines that I must make another trip to Savannah and area…I missed so much in the 0 days I was there. I know you can’t see it all, but I wanna!
Thanks for sharing these gorgeous photos, Jill!
Ciao ciao,
Brenda
Beware! Take it from me – churches can be habit-forming. Love your photos (those ruins are awesome!)
I’ve lived in the South my whole life and don’t remember ever seeing a “church” sign like that! Wonder what the story is?
