Beautiful Cotondog. These would make great B&Ws as well.

Thank you, srfmhg. Glad you like them. Yes, I believe they would certainly be suitable for B&W. I will play with them.

Thank you, John. I appreciate your kind comment. I really do have to provide the better download, but I keep forgetting to click the box. I guess I will have to tie a string around my finger to help me to remember.

Sometimes being forced to find a angle which forces you to see the subject differently can make a great shot. Nice going, nice shots!

Only 2 buildings remain from the thriving community of Galilee, Saskatchewan: a general store and one house. At it's peak in the mid 1920s, the town boasted a number of stores and residences, an elevator, a school, a church, a blacksmith shop,and a post office. People began moving away in 1938, and when the school closed in 1956, the town quickly became deserted.

Both shots taken with a Canon 6D. Lens: 24-105 f/4L; both @24mm. Raw to jpeg conversion with Skylum Aurora, 2018.

The pic of the house is not very good. There was a steep ditch running in the front of the house and trees growing very close to the house with poor views, so the pic I obtained was from the only decent angle available.

Thanks for looking.

Yes, they have, Dick. About a century of storms, followed by summer heat. I wonder how many more they will go through. Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it.

Hi Dick. The deterioration is sad, but even more sad is the fact that people have been pulling the wood from the house and big building over the past couple of years. Galilee is located about 45 minutes south of the city of Moose Jaw in the south central part of the province.
