Cottonwood, AZ - United States

Reminded me of the Chapel in the Pines, in NH. A young man bought the land, intending to build a home on it. WWII intervened, he was Killed in Action. The Lady he was to marry, and his parents decided to build an open air chapel on the site. When they cleared the trees for it, they were amazed at the view over a valley to the Mountains. Went there in autumn when all the trees were changing color back in 1949. Love the sunset fits just right under the shape of the roof. Voted and tweeted to 727

This is the most beautiful photograph I have seen of Pretty Place! A friend of ours was married there and a storm rolled across the mountains during the wedding. It was gorgeous! Even so, this photograph is spectacular! The beautiful sunrise, the blue of the mountains, the cross, and the crowning touch is the first line of one of my favorite Psalms on the beam. I have referred to that particular Psalm (121) through some rough times this past year.

One day I hope to visit Pretty Place. The scripture is one of my favorites and the sunrise view speaks to the notion of lifting one's eyes to the hills. Your photo captures the spirit perfectly.

Flat Rock, NC - United States

Dave, I have wanted this picture since I first saw it on July 4th in Brevard... After seeing this picture, Chuck and I got directions from you and as soon as we left the festival that day, we went to Pretty Place Chapel.... It was such a tranquil, beautiful place. I loved it... WE took pictures there, but there is no way we could capture the total beauty of the place like you did. So, I would LOVE to have one of these beautiful prints... I do plan on owning this print one day and I am saving a perfect spot in my house to hang it... I do hope to have one very soon.... Thanks for sharing all of your beautiful work.....

LOVE LOVE LOVE this one...the colors and textured are captured so amazingly. Your photo makes me want to visit this "pretty place". The scripture reference scribed there is one my sister often referenced while she was ill; when she passed I used it in her memorial in the slide presentation. I like that scripture as a reminder (related to the Calvary's Hill) and what Christ did there for me in such agony and sacrifice yet ultimate beauty and love to save my soul and those who believe on Him. Thank you for sharing this piece.
