This is – for now – the rest of the photos I’ve brought back from this glorious little church. I got a few autumn shots out there, although I’d like another crack at it…but I doubt I own anything capable of actually getting out to the church now, after our blizzard! Anyone got a tracked snow-cat I can borrow?

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!
