Immigrants from several counties - mostly catholic - began settling in what became known as the Mariaihilf district in the 1890s. The first church, school and teacherage burned down. A second church was also destroyed by fire. Undaunted, this chapel was built in the 1920s and has endured. The building and the adjacent cemetery are well maintained.

A sedimentary rock colonized by orange lichen in the East Block of Grasslands National Park.

An abandoned farm home with peaked roofs over the upstairs windows, with a mix of fieldstone and brick construction. This home shows a high level of workmanship.

Evening light in late September on Weissenberg School, near Lemberg, Saskatchewan. The school was build in 1900.

An impressive stone and brick school in a community called Summerberry. It looks as though the community was a modest one, but the school is surprisingly large.

A grave marker surrounded by daisies (and a few dandelions) in a cemetery at Vernon, Saskatchewan.

I have previously posted a photo of this house, but from a different perspective. I like the light of the rising sun on the stone and surrounding vegetation.

A close-up of a cactus flower in bloom in mid-June, at Buffalo Pound Lake, Saskatchewan. The cactus around the flower was quite large, so this is as close as I could get.
