James River Lutheran Church Series
This beautiful old/abandoned church sits proudly atop a hill east of Carrington, ND. The church is clearly being maintained/painted, and will last a good long time with its new metal roof, but unfortunately, the cross on top of steeple has broken/blown down, and gives the appearance of a "church in distress".

Images captured April 24, 2020.

Peter Herman was born and raised on a farm in North Dakota. He first became interested in photography during high-school, and after acquiring a Pentax SLR, began taking photos for the school yearbook and developing/printing B&W images in school darkroom. He continued shooting through college, taking portraits, group pictures, weddings, but after beginning his engineering career at Cummins, he let his photography interests go dormant until about 2005 when he acquired his first DSLR and started shooting scenic landscapes from around the US, but concentrating especially on rural areas in ND and WI.
