I may be an atheist, but that's a beautiful shot.

Thanks! Maine is a beautiful state with lots of great old houses.

(FWIW, I'm agnostic. I mean "God" in the abstract. Or maybe I'm pantheist. Or maybe I worship beauty. What would that be -- an aestheist? Aesthetitist? I'm that.)

Heh. Did not mean to get you started on theological hair-splitting. You believe whatever you want to believe, or not, or whatever. I believe you take good pictures, and that's the only prescient point here. Please post all the deity in the details shots you have, at your leisure.

Lovely. And digressing some more, I love the fact that that there are two phrases ("god is in the details" and "the devil is in the details") with the same basic message but very different connotations. (And I think there's an argument to be made that beauty comes from the devil rather than god...but that's another story.)

I always think of the "Devil is in the Details" as the Republican version! They've used it a lot in congress in recent years. But I could be easily convinced that the devil does the fun stuff in life. Hell, it's probably more fun being a Republican. ;)
