Preotul Dionisie Nichifor immigrated to Canada in 1911 and became the first priest at the new Saints Peter and Paul Romanian Orthodox Church near Flintoft, Saskatchewan. After serving at the church for eighteen years he returned to Romania due to illness.
While he was here he built this stone house.
Sunflowers make everything cheery.
A rock with zebra stripes.
The view northward from the house. The roof of the church can be seen above the tree tops.
A broader view northwards.

Nice stonework - pity it's going to waste. There aren't many good stone masons anymore.
ReplyDeleteHe did beautiful work with the field stones. And I like that shot of the sunflower through the stone house window! Nice.
ReplyDeleteLove seeing stone buildings on the prairies. That 'zebra' rock is neat!!
