A wooden shed that has passed its prime needs help from a neighbouring granaries to stay somewhat erect. This image was taken near Wascana Creek, northwest of Regina, Saskatchewan.

church at Big Beaver

25 Sep 2021 2 1 50
There is nothing on the sign to indicate the name of this church, in the small community of Big Beaver, although it is obviously well maintained. The sawhorse by the entrance suggests some maintenance work is going on.

Sts. Peter&Paul, Kayville

Kayville is almost a ghost town, but it has three photogenic churches. This church is surrounded by mature trees, which makes for a lovely setting, but difficult to photograph.

a tale of two houses

25 Apr 2018 3 2 58
I found this house beside a back road north of Indian Head, Saskatchewan. I surmise that the weathered wood frame house was built first, and as the family prospered the stucco-covered portion was tacked on later. Such home additions were fairly common on the Prairies, but this is a dramatic example.

There were so many objects around this abandoned house I decided to shoot is as a vertical. I think the object in front is a car chassis that has been converted to a wagon.
