The Lords Hill Meeting House is a historic building located in Effingham, New Hampshire. It was built in 1816 and served as the town's primary place of worship until 1862. The building is a two-story, rectangular structure made of timber frame construction with clapboard siding. Its gable roof is covered with wooden shingles.

The interior of the building features a central pulpit, with a raised gallery on three sides. The pews are simple and functional, with no ornamentation. The overall design of the building reflects the simplicity and austerity of early New England architecture.

The Lords Hill Meeting House played an important role in the community's religious and social life during the early 19th century. It was also used for town meetings, concerts, and other community events. However, as the town's population grew and new churches were built, the meeting house fell out of use and was eventually abandoned.

Today, the Lords Hill Meeting House has been restored and is open to the public. It serves as a museum and cultural center, hosting events and exhibitions that celebrate the town's history and heritage. Visitors can explore the building's historic architecture and learn about the role it played in the community's past.

Loon Pond Before Sunrise I think I had three filters on for this, a polarizer to make the color pop, an ND to slow down the exposure, and a grad to stop the sky from being too bright.

Whittier Covered Bridge back over the Bearcamp River I had my first chance to see the bridge back over the river since 1994. It was closed to traffic in 1989, and moved off the river in 2008. Repairs were finally completed and the bridge returned in December of 2022.
Point View Cottage, Newfield, Maine, United States Built c. 1860 at no. 660 Water Road. "Newfield is a town in York County, Maine, United States. The population was 1,648 at the 2020 census. The town is part of the Portland–South Portland–Biddeford metropolitan statistical area. Newfield is home to a museum called Willowbrook Museum Village." - info from Wikipedia. The fall of 2022 I did my 3rd major cycling tour. I began my adventure in Montreal, Canada and finished in Savannah, GA. This tour took me through the oldest parts of Quebec and the 13 original US states. During this adventure I cycled 7,126 km over the course of 2.5 months and took more than 68,000 photos. As with my previous tours, a major focus was to photograph historic architecture. Now on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/billyd.wilson/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">Instagram</a>.
