Little Country Church
The morning sunrise catches St. Henry's Catholic Church located in the Rocky Mountain foothills near Waterton Lakes National Park, about a half hour from Pincher Creek, Alberta, Canada. This small building has serviced the Dry Wood community in southern Alberta for more than a century. Although religious ceremonies are no longer held on a routine basis under its roof, the cemetery is used regularly. Generations of families are interned inside the cemetery which is maintained by volunteers and is a well visited site. This strategic location, elevated and fully exposed, may have had spiritual significance to First Nations since it is on high ground and stands out in the region. Also, it is a very popular location for birders to view Rosy Finches (see e-Bird), Sandhill cranes, and is popular for photographers and those who enjoy its ambiance. A resident caretaker is very hospitable and receptive to visitors.
