Monday's Barn - Waterlogged

I spotted this barn near Barnesville, Minnesota earlier this year. From the looks of it, this barn has been sitting in the water for quite a while. You can see the waterline on the side.

Rurality - Drive Thru, Farm Style

I think a small car could drive under this tractor! To the best of my knowledge, this type of tractor is used to spray crops. The tall wheels allow it to drive down the rows of crops and over them without causing damage. When the tractor is not in spray mode, the rails that would normally jut out are swung back along the tractor sides.

Monday's Barn - Springdale

I am sharing 2 drive-by shots of barns in Springdale, Washington today. We took a different route home from Deer Park on our last trip. It took us through some beautiful valleys and mountain areas. Definitely worth the extra time it added to our trip.

Happy Veteran's Day to our veterans. Thank you for your service!!

Sunday Bridges - Spokane

Drive west along Interstate 90 and look north when crossing Hangman Creek. What a view!

InSPIREd Sunday - Gethsemane Episcopal Cathedral

This church has an interesting history in Fargo. The first church, Christ Church, completed in 1875, was blown off its foundation after a few years, rebuilt and renamed Gethsemane Church. By the 1890's, the church needed to be rebuilt due to being blown off its foundation once again (dang prairie winds!) Plans were made to build a cathedral out of red sandstone, but out of economic necessity was built with wood framing on the sandstone foundation.

In 1980, Gethsemane Cathedral was placed on the National Register of Historic Places. Tragically, during renovations in 1989, a fire burned the cathedral beyond repair. In 1991, construction began on the new cathedral on its present site.

While this church in Fargo, North Dakota still sports the red doors typically found on Episcopal churches, it has a decidedly modern feel to it.

I realized I wanted a better picture of the Cathedral so on my last trip to Fargo, I stopped and got a few more shots. Plus it was a nicer day with the clear blue skies.
