Description
Miners Sanctuary, an infrared photo made while visiting Eckley Miners Village, near White Haven PA. Village was built in 1854. A coal town or sometimes called Patch Town was a planned community meant to serve the workers needs that included housing, medical care, store and church.
These men and boys working in anthracite coal mines were a large part of the industrial revolution.
Hard, dangerous life, religion and the church provided a sanctuary.
The ground on which this church stands saw several denominations and buildings prior to this church, St Paul's was donated to the state by its congregation.

And what a sanctuary this was, and surely, still. A very noble image of such a noble building!

In addition to the banner, I am adding this more permanent recognition of its FEATURE on the homepage of A TREE OR TREES IN BLACK AND WHITE. I try mightily to feature only images that would be at home in a juried competition. No doubt that this image fits that bill. CONGRATULATIONS! And consider adding your image to DISCUSSIONS "Please post your featured photograph here" for greater, long-lasting visibility.
