This old Bible lies on the pulpit of Palmer Chapel in Cataloochee Valley.  I don't know how long
it's been there - probably not since the '30's when the valley was taken over by the park, but
I've been seeing it for several years, and each year it's a bit the worse for wear.  I made a
similar photo to this one day with my field camera and a 90mm lens, but it just didn't quite work,
so I made another trip with the monorail camera and the 65mm lens.  I made two negatives, but
I must have moved a bit during one of the 4-minute exposures, because the other negative
shows a double image.  Fortunately, no other visitors showed up while the shutter was open.  I
love the melancholy feeling I get from this picture.

As most people seem to
prefer them, prices are for
framed prints, ready to
hang.  I use a very nice
matt black wood frame 7/8
of an inch wide, with a
white mat.  If you would like
to order unframed prints,
go to the "Purchase" page
for pricing.
