On N. Elm Street, northeast of the Stockyards, is a Cowboy Church. And, by Cowboy Church, we mean that’s what it’s called, Cowboy Church. It’s a non-denominational honest-to-goodness house of worship where they have communion every Sunday and encourage folks to leave their suit or fancy dress behind and come as they are.
Local photographer Walt Burns, who enjoys snapping pics of the Northside’s colorful buildings, was struck by the church’s red steeple when exploring new locations on a Sunday afternoon.
“I took out my camera and walked up for the shot,” Burns says. “We get a frequent amount of airplane traffic overhead from Meacham Airport and, just then, a small aircraft flew directly above the tip of the steeple. I pressed the shutter excitingly and the result is the photograph you see.”
