Little red church near Blackie, Alberta

I should have got the name of this little church - but I didn't. I just loved the colour and rural setting in winter. Seen yesterday (3 February 2013), on a wonderful day out SE of Calgary in the Blackie area, with friends, Cathy and Terry. Thanks so much, you guys!

Later: this is St. Thomas’ Anglican Church, Dinton, Alberta. Thanks to Flickr member kgogrady for the ID and information! Very interesting.

"Although the tiny town of Dinton, AB does not appear on most maps, it now occupies a place in motion picture history. Locations Manager Darryl Solly was asked to find a “small unadorned church” for the del Mar wedding scene in the movie, Brokeback Mountain. The unassuming Anglican chapel at Dinton, built by prairie pioneers in 1906, shown here in these exclusive pre-production photos, was the perfect spot for Alma and Ennis to be married."

The movie stars Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Anne Hathaway and Michelle Williams and depicts the complex romantic and sexual relationship between two men in the American West from 1963 to 1983.
