arctic sunset


There was a beautiful sunset last Thursday evening, and I took a bunch of pictures. I thought this one with the old stone church in it was quite nice. Unfortunately the church is falling down. It was built on the permafrost, and attempts to repair it have so far been in vain. It has existed here since about 1941 when there was a Catholic missionary by the name of Father Henri here. It is a well known landmark in these parts.
