Description
MOON OVER OLD SHELDON CHURCH
A full moon casts an eerie glow over the Old Sheldon Church ruins in Yemassee, South Carolina. The Old Sheldon Church was built in the 1700's and survived multiple attempts to destroy it including during the Civil War in the 1800's. The church is located in the middle of the woods and is one of the most atmospheric places I've ever been to. Unfortunately, due to vandalism a wrought iron fence now surrounds the perimeter of the church and graveyard and you can no longer walk around the inside of the church unless it's during one of the guided tours. I'm so glad I got the chance to photograph this beautiful and historic structure before the fence was erected. The Old Sheldon Church was added to the National Registry of Historic Places in 1970.
