St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church in Souris, Prince Edward Island is a wonderful example of sandstone architecture. PEI is certainly not the only location on the globe in which sandstone is used as a major construction element, but the unique colour tones set this church - and other PEI buildings - apart from the others. Red dirt is more PEIish than Anne of Green Gables or potatoes. Of course, this picture doesn't show the church so much as its brickwork and the cemetery in the background. Perched on a hill near the outskirts of Souris in the east end of PEI - "down east", as they say - St. Mary's is beautiful inside and out, Catholic or not.
