Field, B.C.

This old Catholic Church is in the town of Field, British Columbia.  The town started as a railroad town and that, along with being a park headquarters for Yoho National Park is what it is today as well.  We saw a herd of cow elk and yearlings crossing a field and then walking down the tracks just out of town.  There was a herd of  bighorn sheep ewes and yearlings further down the road.
This kind of picture appeals to me in black and white, and in this case with some sepia.  The mountain in the background is naturally a bit soft due to the snow and you see that a lot in old photos due to the narrow depth of field of a large format view camera and the old lenses themselves.
