Jud, North Dakota
The population for rural little Jud is around 70 people, give or take. Back in 1910 when they might have been thinking about building a church it was 99. The population swelled 202 in 1940 but has been on a steady decline from then on.
The church looks to have been unused for quite some time. There must be a modern facility in town now but I didn't notice. I wasn't looking for one either. I was there for the murals, over 20 of them.
Would make for a good location for a scary movie except Jud is located all by itself way out in the middle of the plains of North Dakota 9 and 25 miles from the two nearest highways.

I agree with TexWisGirl, beautiful B&W subject. The peeling paint really adds texture, and the clouds complete the mood!
Beautiful old church.
Hi there - had a look through this and your other recent posts - these are some interesting buildings - I often think that many building become more photogenic with a bit age and neglect.
Also, I like the B/W

That first shot in b/w is perfect!! I love the rooflines and windows of this little church!
Not long for this world, I fear.
