Favourites from the Past Year


September 16, 2019
A selection of personal favourites from 2019.  Several of these locations warrant a feature post...something I'll  get to in time.  Enjoy!

Above is Saints Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Church (aka Blumenfeld) near Liebanthal, Saskatchewan.  There is also an outdoor altar,  an outdoor Stations of the Cross, a shrine and cemetery on the grounds.

The Echodale School sign is in a remote area west of Hilda, Alberta.  The South Saskatchewan River is not far away.

Creston School is a one-room schoolhouse near Shaunavon, Saskatchewan.  It sits on the edge of a valley.

Mayfield Cemetery sits on a hilltop about midway between Empress, Alberta and Eatonia, Saskatchewan.  It's a beautiful spot!

An abandoned barn in a big green field bordered with yellow and white flowers.  It's not far from Dollard, Saskatchewan.

An abandoned L-shaped house in northern Cypress County, Alberta.  It even has a bay window.

This "Summer Road Only" is north of the Cypress Hills in Alberta.  It's a nice little detour off the main road.

A rather sketchy trail that leads to Rockdell Cemetery in the R.M. of Willowbrook, Saskatchewan.  I love the vapour trails.

October 26, 2019
Just outside of Wakaw, Saskatchewan...the cairn at Saint Mary's Ukrainian Orthodox Cemetery on a very cold and snowy day.

October 27, 2019
Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary near Alvena, Saskatchewan.  This is one of the most captivating church buildings I've seen in recent times.

Another photo from the Dollard, Saskatchewan area...a pronghorn keeping an eye on me while I photograph the old house across the road.

July 30, 2019
The range road that passes by the Observation School sign near Tunstall, Saskatchewan...wide open prairie.

December 15, 2019
Saint Columba Anglican Church was opened in 1898.  It's a treasure to see out in the prairie near Tuxford, Saskatchewan.
