The abandoned schoolhouse at Sheerness, Alberta. There is an active open pit coal mine a short distance away from the former townsite. The race is on as the mine is only set to keep operating for a very short period of time before the nearby power generating plant switches to natural gas. Will they make it up to the town before the change... remains to be seen... I thought I'd better document the school before it is gone. This was taken in September of 2019 on Ilford HP5 film, processed in 510 Pyro developer. It was taken with my Ebony 4x5 view camera and a 90mm lens.
