St. Thomas, Vernon

A view of St. Thomas Anglican Church in a district called Vernon. Fieldstone buildings like this would have taken a great deal of time and effort to build. The church is used occasionally. The cemetery beside it is still in use.

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.
