Came across this great 1950's GMC paddock art in Western Victoria. Got to love her well-seasoned patina. The driver, Rusty, got that crusty look of a man from the land.

The abandoned Brush Hill Reformed Church North is in the hamlet of Minburn, in central Alberta. The Church was founded in 1916 by Volga German settlers from Norka.
_
Nature has enclosed the once hallowed walls. Like a wild creature of the prairie, I pushed my way through the thicket that protects the church and peered into the dark interior. I felt like a grave robber. I quickly hurried away to leave the shadows to guard their secrets
_
The quote on the cairn in front of the church read. "One generation passes away and another generation comes: but the earth stands forever".

Abandoned Grain Elevator at Parry Saskatchewan. This is the former Saskatchewan Wheat Pool elevator, number 157. It has an annex that is an earlier elevator converted for storage (only just visible in this photo).
_
The Canadian National Parry railway sign still stands on the abandoned railway embankment. The line ran between Moosejaw and Radville and was established in 1912. The railway still runs from Moosejaw to Avonlea, but the section between Avonlea and Radville was closed circa 1980.

Not exactly sure where this abandoned farmhouse was. We had spent the night in Bengough at the Big Muddy Inn, an Inn that was well named. We left early hoping to find our way to Brooking for first light. Some how I got Highway 705 confused with route 377 and so we missed Brooking altogether.
_
That is how I chanced upon this abandoned farmhouse. It was obviously abandoned, with boarded up ground floor window and a curtain futtering through the shards of the second-floor window. Somebody cared for this tired old house. The lawn had been recently mowed. I walked down the drive so I could shoot the house against the light. As is always my way, I took nothing but photos and left nothing but footprints.

Saskatchewan's Bay Island School No.4362, near Old Wives Lake, in the Rural Municipality of Hillsborough. This small one room school stands on a rise above Highway 363. It opened in 1919 and closed in 1950.
_
The second photo is the big old Pot Belly stove that was used to keep the room warm during the cold winter’s days. I took the shot through the window.
_
I can only imagine the hardship the children suffered going to this school.

A 1939 V8 Ford truck left out in the hot South Australian sun. There is no beauty treatment quite as fine as neglect. How sweet is this patina.

Two abandoned Pioneer Grain Elevators located in the ghost town of Neidpath, Saskatchewan.
_
Neidpath is named after Neidpath Castle, near Peebles, Scotland. The name was suggested by the first postmaster, John Mitchell who had come from Peebles.
_
Neidpath was founded in 1909 and becoming a village with the arrival of the Avonlea branch of the Canadian National Railway in 1924. At its peak Neidpath was quite a going concern, with four Grain Elevators, Hotels and restaurants, a pool hall, a hardware and a blacksmith.
_
Neidpath's death nell came when the railway line was abandoned, circa 1981.

The Robe Obelisk stood on Cape Dombey since 1855. It was built to serve as a day time guide for sea traffic entering Guichen Bay.
_
The pyramid shaped structure stands 12.2 metres tall and is visible for over 15 kilometres out to sea. The obelisk was also used to store rocket equipment used by the local lifeboat crew.
_
Since it was built, the soft sandstone cliffs have eroded significantly, it will eventually collapse into the sea.
