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."

Three years ago to the day...
Some photos taken while travelling east through the Frenchman River Valley towards Eastend, Saskatchewan. The light-coloured areas in the hills are white clay deposits. Great Western Railway operates a rail line through the valley.
It's one of those landscapes that simultaneously feels new yet familiar. Highly recommended for an afternoon drive at any time of the year.

The central detail from Pense School.
These colourful, sometimes anthropomorphic, sometimes cartoonish metal cutouts adorn the upper south side of the building. Lots of light-hearted fun that the students and teachers see every school day.
Each cutout is individually mounted about three inches from the wall with metal pins. The shadows created behind the shapes give the photos a "double vision" characteristic.
I don't think there are any exact duplicates.
A view of the main entrance to the school...complete with historic school bell. How many kids have rapped a knuckle on that old bell?
