Zion Lutheran Church in Chinook

Early afternoon light on Zion Lutheran Church in Chinook, Montana...accompanied by a couple of plump orange pumpkins too.  Fall is my favourite season.

Antonivka

I was traveling the area around Canora, Saskatchewan today.  When I reached the town of Buchanan I dropped in at the R.M. office to say hello and take a look at their map of the municipality.  While I was there I found out that one of the country churches I was interested in photographing was most likely going to be dismantled soon.

I'd never seen this little church in the country before, and chances were I'd never see it again, so I thought I'd try for some photos that would make it a memorable visit.  I planned my arrival to the church for sunset and hoped the setting sun would assist me in capturing the spirit of Antonivka.  This photo was the "one" for me.  Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Antonivka Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (1906) is near Amsterdam, Saskatchewan and is one of the oldest churches in the Ukrainian Catholic Eparchy of Saskatoon.

Pink Barn

This barn was once a brilliant red colour (there's still a little patch of the original colour under the roof peak).  Now it's faded to pink.

Horses

Horses on the prairie in Vulcan County, Alberta.

When horses lie down they always look like they're dead...note the one on the far right.

Red Barn

A freshly painted red barn near Southfork, Saskatchewan.

It's an old barn but very well kept...has a new black metal roof with white trim too.

Over the years I'll bet a lot of cats have caught even more mice up in that hayloft.

Abandoned Homestead near Redfield

An abandoned homestead northeast of The Battlefords.

The old homesteads in this area don't seem to have that remote and isolated feeling that generally accompany those in the far southern part of the province...it always feels homey and comfortable when I travel through here.  Maybe it's just my overactive imagination.
