Little Blue Church with a Golden Dome

The congregation of Saints Peter and Paul Romanian Orthodox Church was organized in 1942.

Originally the church was located on a farm about ten miles north of Bonnyville but in 1952 the parish decided to move it into town where it presently stands in a quiet residential area.  A few years later in 1954 the altar sanctuary (apse) was added and in 1959 the golden dome was built.

The exterior has recently received new paint, new windows and a new roof.  I would imagine the interior is as lovely as it's always been.

Another protective parent keeps an eye on me from on top of the tall fence.

Ripple

A small part of one of the trails through the vast and seemingly endless Grasslands National Park in southern Saskatchewan.  A wonderful place to spend the day.

She seems to be holding her own.
