About an hour's drive northeast of Edmonton, Alberta...
...is Saint Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church and Cemetery.
The front gate is a type often used on farms and ranches.
Two rows of graves in the cemetery.
Aspen trees have grown up around the church.
The front doors...
...and first look inside.
The pews are an unusual design that I've only seen a few other times in country churches...sort of a marriage between a bench and a picnic table (really quite practical).
More or less the same shot as above but with mood.
Photographed near Newbrook, Alberta on February 20, 2021.
I was here in the summer and the church was pretty much obscured by the trees.
ReplyDeleteIn that case, glad I caught it in winter.
DeleteInteresting pews - one would have to be sure to stay awake during sermons or you might just topple off.
ReplyDeleteFall asleep during a sermon?! Heaven forbid! :-)
DeleteLovely.
