Rural landscapes: worshipping in the badlands

OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH, DOROTHY, ALBERTA

The tiny hamlet of Dorothy, deep in the badlands of this western Canadian province, has two abandoned churches. Our Lady of Perpetual Help was in service between 1944 and 1967; a United Church operated from 1932 to 1961. I was blessed to visit in the first sunlit hours of a summer day and capture this wonderfully illuminated scene.
