I took this photo just as the sun was setting in early evening fromacross the bay at Ephraim, WI. The church on the right is an old Moravian church from the 1800s, and the church on the left is a more recent Methodist church. The old 2 bay Fire Station is seen just below the Moravian Church. I took this photo with a Nikon D600 camera and Nikkor 18-200mm lens.
