William (Bill) Armstrong's photos with the keyword: windows

Windows broken or boarded over; bbq unused; a winter's worth of firewood waiting. The owner of this house seems to have just walked away. This image was found in a hamlet in rural Saskatchewan.

After taking images of an abandoned fieldstone house from different perspectives outside, I ventured closer to have a look inside. This image shows a portion of this once-grand home.

A church, a school, a teacherage and a cemetery were established here around 1900. The chapel is the third house of worship built here. The cairn has the school bell mounted on top.

This little chapel in a rural area near Lemberg is well kept, and the plastic flowers in the windows indicate that it is still used. The original church built by German Catholic settlers burned down in 1904. The second church was destroyed by fire in 1921. They decided to rebuild on the site as a chapel, which I guess is 100 years old in 2022.

When I took this image of a window of the fieldstone church at Vernon I wanted to show the shape of the window and reflections in the glass. As I edited the image I realized that the mason who worked on this chose a stone with a distinctive colour for the keystone at the top of the arch over the window. The mason's choice echoes down through the years.

The Descent of the Holy Spirit Ukrainian Catholic Church in Regina is located on a narrow street, making it difficult to capture the building without a lot of distracting powerlines and tree branches. This image shows the stained glass above the entry doors.

Someone with a whimsical sense of humour has placed effigies in the upper windows of this gracious old house. I wonder if this is a house ordered from a catalogue, which was fairly common in the early days of homesteading in Saskatchewan. This house had some fine finishing touches inside, but how it is home for all sorts of critters. Don’t use this image on websites, blogs or other media without explicit permission.
