Description

"Klara Swedish Lutheran Church - series" (search "Klara" to find other images from this location)

This abandoned church In a very remote part of central ND was founded in 1897, shortly after statehood, and served the rural community for 100 years, closing in 1997. This series is a bit painful to view - especially to those who maybe have many fond memories here, since the condition is going downhill and the foundation looks to be in trouble on the west wall, collapsing inward (I neglected to photograph that). But I try to find and capture beauty in the brokenness and decay, and hope you will too. Places like this will likely be gone in another 20 years, so I feel that photos are one way to document and retain "what was". Images all captured 4/23/20.
