A one-room schoolhouse near Stady, North Dakota.
Like many other schools in the area it has a covered entryway with a sturdy support beam at the corner.
Almost the entire north wall is windows. The large dark object to the left is the stove that heated the building.
Farm land surrounds the school. One can travel for miles and miles and not even see a barbed-wire fence.
The chimney looks like it was built yesterday.

An abandoned country church near Ribstone, Alberta.
The "sunray" detail in the roof peak is mirrored...
...above the entryway.
From the few shards of broken coloured glass remaining in the border around the window, the colours alternated between deep blue, turquoise and amber. Must have looked quite lovely on a Sunday morning during a church service.
A rear view of the church...the cemetery can be seen on the right.
It looks like the cemetery sign was a Canadian Centennial project.

A red brick schoolhouse in Minburn County, Alberta.
The building seems to be in very good condition.

The huge old Maple Creek School.
It is now a museum that is well worth a look.
I love the staggered brick detail that surrounds the entire building. It looks like 1910 was a good year.

An unusual spot to find a barn...by the waterside.
Lots of Russian thistles in full bloom.
Homestead buildings can be seen in the background.
The barn has only one "eye."
