Description
Light enters a small, uncovered window in an old church in Cades Cove and falls on the seat of a simple wooden pew. This is the Primitive Baptist Church, originally founded in the 1820's; for years, services were held in a log structure, but this frame church was built in 1887. The church was still active until the 1960's. For me the appeal of this scene lies in its simplicity; in the play of light and shadow that reveals the lines, shapes, and textures of the wooden surfaces; and in the austerity of the room and furnishings.
