Drowned Churches


Churches of all things, rising out of lakes and rivers, submerged in gallons of water – the lovingly carved pews and altars ruined, the places where so many knelt and prayed for help or forgiveness a home to weeds and fishes now. These churches were flooded and drowned by men’s own doing, in their cavalier hurry to change nature’s path for dams and reservoirs.
