A little slice of paradise [pic]
 

My father and I spent the day doing some genealogy research in a few towns along the north shores of Lake Erie.

Our search took us to a private residence where a church built by my great-great-great grandfather had been re-located to for preservation.

The property owner was gracious enough to give us a tour of the property, including this area behind the church that simply blew me away.

Taken earlier this afternoon:

Great pic. I had fun driving / walking around there a few years ago.

Stunning scenery, looks unreal.

I liked it a lot.

many ghosts

You're familiar with the area?

Slightly different perspective...

That's a beautiful picture. Looking at the ground reminded me of my current research into PERMACULTURE.

Nice picture but no way in hell i would walk down that path. :)

It was unusual - the trees on either side are evergreens...yet the leaves are from deciduous trees elsewhere on the grounds.

Beautiful :thumbsup

nice shots :thumbsup

Awesome place, thxs for sharing :)

pretty cool but i think too many are focusing on lake erie name, not eerie at all

That looks amazing dude

Pretty, I knew of a similar scenery (not nearly as dense foliage) on a Frisbee golf course where I grew up.

Fulltime hedge trimming job.

Speechless :thumbsup

and at op, great photos man, and great that you are going with father, really nice man, keep it up! :thumbsup

Wow... great pic... almost too perfect... almost occult... Ask Johnny what conspiracy is behind it:)

pretty cool pics

i grew up in the area - what town/city is that residence in?

amazing autumn scenery.

Very nice, but not what I consider paradise. Far from it.

When I was a kid we had a small group of white birch trees in this one corner of our property, about fifty trees... When it rained and the water would freeze it would freeze on the trees making the trees bend over, creating a huge ice cavern. It was always neat in there.

I have always enjoyed your photography. Some of you urban decay stuff has stayed in my mind for years.

Me too, western PA. Lake Erie was great to visit as a kid.

Sounds unreal, any pictures (random from the internet) to show how it looked like?

Lynedoch, Ontario...about 10-12 kms from St. Williams.
