@heatherbateystudio Heather, that was Samford University's Reid Chapel. BTW, I forwarded your sweet comment for Katie on to her, via Sandy and Scott and copied it to Laura.

English lyrics: see the lovely birch in the meadow, curly leaves all dance when the wind blows. Lu li lu when the wind blows, lu li Lu in the meadow...
