This little church was so picturesque, in such nice condition, and so full of photo opportunities that I simply had to do a second post of photos from it. In this angle you can actually see the “rear office.”

I love old prairie churches. I’ve documented many of them, but you haven’t seen the photos or trip stories on this blog. That’s because I’ve been holding out for a book or calendar project, one which has yet to materialize. Someday it will come to fruition, I hope. In this case, however, I’m so eager to share that I simply can’t wait.

When I left work Monday I couldn’t believe what was going on in the sky. The clouds were simply spectacular, with all kinds of odd, shifting shapes. I bolted to the edge of town as quickly as I could, finding an area without a lot of clutter, and began pointing my camera upward to chronicle what was happening overhead…

I’ll come right out and say it: the single greatest hindrance to my photography hobby is gas money. More directly, the lack of gas money is an enormous obstacle. So when I got the chance to head to the Pembina Gorge area with my sweetie, I jumped all over it. I had some recommendations from friends, and this one turned out to be perfect…

See what happens when the sun hits these colors? They develop a lot of contrast very quickly. It works here because this angle provided a dark background, but it can be really tough getting photos of leaves like this in direct sunlight. I lucked out with this one as I set up for another session with these amazing colorful bushes…

I made multiple trips to this spot, mostly because I was chasing the light I needed. At our latitude during this time of year we get such hard shadows, and on a cloudless October sky there’s so much nasty blue light bouncing around that it can be hard to get a decent photo of just about anything. It can be really frustrating!

I don’t know what kind of bushes these are, but I do know they’re amazing. My sweetie first told me about these as she showed me some photos she took with her phone while out for a walk. Naturally I had to investigate them for myself! Here are a the first of many photos from this area. I presume you caught the B-52’s song title reference in the title of this post…

Shifting gears slightly, let’s take a look at a feature which became my favorite this year: light green colors mixed with gold as the leaves were mid-metamorphosis. It seems we have such quick autumn periods most years – and I’ve been so darn busy for the last few years anyway – that being able to enjoy the leaves in mid-transition hasn’t been a luxury available to me. Well, this time I got to enjoy it…

This is going to be a slightly lighter post, since it’s Sunday. I will, however avail myself of the opportunity to share a few autumn-themed church photos in honor of The Lord’s Day!

I know we’re reaching that dreary point where so many leaves have fallen, turned brown, or both, but hopefully these photo posts can prolong the autumn beauty for a little while until the snow arrives. It isn’t the dread of bleaker scenes which caused me to use the Genesis song title for the title of this post, though. I just needed a Fifth reference, and there isn’t any water in this post to make Firth relevant.
I’ve never been a fan of Spring because everything’s still so barren and brown, even when the nice, warm temperatures arrive. Fall is where it’s at, even when it begins to get really cold overnight. And then there are the photos. Instead of pining for the fjords, let’s bask in the photos of autumn beauty…
