Old Cottonwood Church

    The old Cottonwood Lutheran Church is abandoned on what is now pasture land north of Havre, Montana.

    I had to fend off a herd of beef cattle, including one very anxious bull, to get into position to take this photograph. Lucky for me they didn't much like the horn on my truck. They kept their distance long enough for me to set up my tripod and capture this image.

      I guess this is an HDR, right? I like the details and sharpness of the photo, looks like a painting
