Something that has always surprised me when i go exploring is how many abandoned churches there are. I have found so many of them, most of them only missing the people. Finding a very intact abandoned church is not uncommon. Some are left open for the public to view & sometimes sign a guestbook, others are boarded up so securely there is no chance anyone will get in. I always find these churches so fascinating as most of them are very old and have held up very well against the elements. Some of them are severely vandalized but others are left alone despite the door being wide open. Today religion is not as popular as it once was in this province and churches closing in rural areas is still very common. Since i have so many pictures of abandoned churches i have chosen my favorites and split them into exterior pictures & interior pictures. I will post the exterior pictures here and on my next blog the interior.
