Houston, Texas - 1955 and 2013

This is the historic St. Olaf’s Rock Church built in 1886 by Norwegian immigrants in Cranfills Gap - it’s about 15-20 minutes drive from Clifton (which is about 45 mins NW of Waco). The church is in the middle of “nowhere", so you’d never find it if you didn’t know where to look (I worked in Clifton for five years and I even had to stop and ask for directions on where exactly it was). However, it’s a beautiful church, newly restored inside and out, and it’s worth the drive out there if you’re in the area. You can find more photos from Bosque County on our Flickr and Instagram or Statigram pages (Statigram allows you to search and comment on Instagram photos from the computer - however you can not upload photos from Statigram)

Some fantastic pictures of a fantastic old church. It makes me want to drive out to see the painted churches.

Bluebonnets. We’re definitely in Texas. I found some color to look at on this colorless day!
