My inspiration for this shot came from another's post on TE of the original church in Norway. Here is the URL to his shot. Sorry I don't know how to post a link.

I've also posted a workshop with a view from a the other side of the church. I liked the contrasting colors better on the original.

Located on the grounds of the Hjemkomst Center is the Stave Church, a symbol of the Norwegian heritage in the Red River Valley. Built by Guy Paulson, the church is a full-scale replica of the Hopperstad Church in Vik, Norway

The Hjemkomst Viking Ship, permanently housed in the center; was built by Robert Asp and his family and sailed to Norway in 1984. Several traveling exhibits are also held at Heritage Hall, a 7,000 sq./ft. hall and have included a NASA, Dinosaur and Juried Folk Art exhibits.

Another angle of this great church. This shot was lit a little better but the composition didn't work for me. I just thought somebody may find this interesting as it give a better view of this impressive structure. I had removed my skylight for this shot, as you may notice slightly different wood tones.
