Seeing the sun set to the west of Mt. Pisgah Methodist Church reminds us that sun is also setting on summer for students in the Guilford County Schools. Students on the traditional calendar begin their 180 day count on Wednesday. Sundown today closes the last weekend of summer vacation.
Mt. Pisgah Church, featured in the above photo, is 165 years old, with records dating back to 1845-- well before the Civil War. It located at the corner of Battleground Avenue and Pisgah Church Road. The present location is 1/2 mile west of the original location; the building has changed more than once; the congregation merged with Bethel United Methodist Church; and, above all, the congregation has grown. Just as the sun is always setting somewhere in the world, conversely, it is always sunrise somewhere. Let's look at the beginning of school year as a sunrise, the dawn, of a new school year! Even if you don't have school-aged children, please remember to re-link your grocery store cards to a school community that you support.
Simply beautiful. Nice capture.

Glorious sunset! But I kind of feel sorry for the kids. :)

Nothing better than a colorful sunset... anywhere.
