Completed in the 1960s, this Catholic church was originally an important point of distribution for USAID supplies. Rural flight and an aging population have caused the congregation to disperse and nowadays it only opens for special events.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
