Manitoba Outing - Grain Elevators

One striking characteristic of southern Manitoba and southern Saskatchewan is the absolute table-top flatness of the place. That flat landscape of endless grain fields highlights another striking feature - the brightly painted grain elevators.

Manitoba Outing - The Church at Tolstoi, Manitoba

On our way to St. Malo Provincial Park for a gathering of fiberglass camping trailers similar to ours, we came across a small Ukrainian church near the highway at Tolstoi, MB.

Seeing that the door was open, we entered to find two women cleaning the place. We asked if it would be OK to look around and take some pictures. They said, "Of course!" So we did.

The inside of the place is really tiny - but charming. We were not prepared for the intricate woodwork and painting: nor, for the rich colors!
