Church Water Tower 9172 A

United Methodist Church in Saco, Montana, population 183, in Phillips County, late in the day after a springtime thunderstorm.

 

Was passing near town when the sun broke through the clouds with this fantastic light, the water tower shining like a beacon from miles away. Went looking for a scene with the tower in the background, and found this one. Didn't take time to setup my DSLR, since it would only be a couple of minutes before the opportunity had passed.

 

On the historic 'Hi-Line' railroad, Saco once was a bustling town of 1,500 people.

 

I couldn't find any historical information on the church.
