The Small Church Of Orison
I was away recently risking life an limb climbing mountains and camping rough, which allowed me to notice I was rather close to an old abandoned dwelling I had explored sometime ago along with others still on the burner, now before I begin properly I have tonnes of places I have yet to upload, which leaves me thinking I should, but this report is short and sweet compared to the others.
I wanted to take a look down this road which seems no one goes down. This area is rather unique as it holds 5 abandoned houses a church and a very old and broken windmill, I had explored the old dwellings/houses before but never the church, so as I was close by I told my partner we are making a detour, after some off-roading in a car not built for it, we arrived to my surprise the houses all remained untouched and like they did before, but my eyes was on the church which looked how I remembered it.
After parking up outside the church I walked towards the door and pushed it forward, bingo its open, don't know why I never bothered with this place before, I guess the houses had my interest more, but may as well make it a clean sweep of them all.
We walked into the church and instantly the floors below us was rather wet and bending, treading lightly we began to take in the dereliction, some old books stated 2003 and others stated 2001 so I go with the 2003 it has not been in use by, the green on the walls was so eye catching and beautiful, a fair amount remained, shame the organ is rather neglected and bits falling off it, I did like the colouring books remained to keep youngsters happy on services. (shame I had no crayons!) other bits an pieces remained as well, but what a beautiful place of worship this was on a narrow road. Its a strange place this as I mentioned the abandoned houses before and the broken windmill, that is all that seems to be around this area which is pleasant and peaceful, after 20 odd minutes and getting a few shots, it was indeed time for food but unlucky for us no civilization for over ages.
On with the shots.
Sorry for the lack of input into uploading reports, it seems I am more out now than ever and usually up a mountain! Promise more soon this backlog will go down!!
