Church Door, Froude, SK

Weathered by prairie winds and years of silence, this church doorway in Froude, Saskatchewan stands as a solemn echo of a once-gathered congregation. The pointed arch, still elegant despite the peeling wood, invites the eye inward — toward shadow, memory, and forgotten hymns.

Nature reclaims the entrance, with dry grasses and leafless branches pushing up against the porch. The door hangs slightly ajar, as if waiting for someone to return, or as if it never fully closed on the past. The image is quiet, yet deeply expressive — a meditation on passage, time, and the stories held within abandoned walls.
