A picture a day of the town of Lexington, Virginia
Beautiful Lexington, Virginia:
A town of 7,000 in the Shenandoah Valley -- home to Washington and Lee University and the Virginia Military Institute; resting place of Civil War generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson; and at the center of one of the prettiest counties in Virginia: Rockbridge County.

Lovely!
Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Beautiful! Merry Christmas!
This is a lovely nativity scene. Your neighbourhood churches are often much more imposing than ours here in Sydney.
Thanks, D, Tanya and Julie, for stopping by on this busy day.
Julie, My guess is that it has a lot to do with when the churches were built. Most of Lexington's are late 18th - 19th C. Not so imposing as some centuries (!), but most things built later here are less imposing, as well. When were yours built, mostly?
Happy New Year!
That is a beautiful nativity scene! The sculptures are wonderfully crafted.
After all the Christmas family reunions, I've finally gotten around to visiting. Thank you very much for your greeting, and I hope you and your family had a wonderful, joyous Christmas!
