I woke up in the motel in North Battleford, Saskatchewan and as soon as I looked out the window I knew I was in for a treat...everything was thick with hoar frost. As long as the sun didn't come out the frost would last for hours. After a bite to eat and gas for the car I was on my way.
I had been in the general area about a year previously and wanted to see a few spots that would now be covered with snow. Everything looks different in a winter landscape. Winter is a fresh view of things...all is clean, cold and white.
Not far from Mayfair I chanced upon Saint Joseph's Roman Catholic Church.
The octagonal steeple is unusual and appealing.
A perennial symbol at Catholic churches and cemeteries...the free standing cross.
A shot of the church from the cemetery across the road. I admit to having a soft spot for churches painted this creamy yellow colour...it's just so inviting and comfortable.

The yellow church against the snow is a pretty scene for sure. This one looks as though it could still be in use.
ReplyDeleteIt's in great condition.
DeleteI love hoar frost! Everything looks lovely with it.
ReplyDeleteI agree. It was overcast all day so this is how everything looked until dark. Quite a treat!

ReplyDeleteThanks BW. Slow and steady...who knows what lies around the next corner.
