This church stood for 140 years between Calgary and Canmore, AB. Some jackass burned it down in 2017. It was a favourite place for people that lived close by and tourists. Unfortunately this poor negative looks like it lived on my DR floor for a few years.
Very nice, Eric. We just lost a historic Murray United church in Nicola Valley,near Merritt, to an arsonist. It was 143 years old. All that is left standing is the Chimney.
Very nice and an image that brought back memories. On a trip to Alberta twenty (+) years ago driving from Banff to Calgary I pulled off to the side of the road and photographed the same church from a slightly different angle on TMax 120. It was overcast so I missed out on dramatic clouds. After seeing your photograph I had to go searching through my negatives to be sure it was the same church. It was a great trip yielding a number of good photographs. I also had the pleasure of meeting and befriending Craig Richards a really outstanding photographer from Canmore. Thanks for the memory.
