NORTH DAKOTA - USA


Travelling east from Montana we enter North Dakota and go straight to the Hew Hope Wesleyan Church at Williston. The concert here is packed, the main hall seats 300 people and the photograph shows the church foyer behind me also packed with people. We stay in this town for 3 nights, Sunday to Tuesday, the kids have school on Monday and Tuesday. We never actually enter the town of Williston itself and my only view of it is taken from close to where I was staying. This photograph was taken during an early evening walk, before the mosquitoes come out - even so there were many biting bugs flying at the time.

From Williston we travelled to Minot, we stayed there for a couple of nights, but for some reason I didn't make many photographs. One thing I do remember is that the fields were full of grasshoppers. When you walked in the sunshine the noise they made was deafening. Whenever you moved your feet, lots of them would jump out of your path. They even have flying grasshoppers here like this one shown. 

Our next and final stop in this state is Fargo and one of the biggest churches we have performed in so far. This church has only opened its new sanctuary in March this year and seats 1200 in comfortable cinema style seats. The kids were dwarfed by the size of the stage, although a video camera and 2 projectors ensured that anyone who couldn't see the kids could at least see them on the screens.
